Prince Louis is treated differently than George and Charlotte: Here's why
Prince Louis, who just turned seven years old, is said to be granted a little more freedom than his older siblings
Prince Louis may be the youngest of the Wales children, but according to royal insiders, that status comes with a royal perk his siblings don’t enjoy.
As the cheeky youngest child of Prince William and Princess Kate, Prince Louis, who just turned seven years old, is said to be granted a little more freedom than his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Speaking to The Mirror, BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond revealed: “Being the youngest is often something of a privilege. You get away with a lot more, and you are that little bit special as the last-born.”
“[Princess] Catherine probably lets Louis run wild more than she did with George,” Bond explained.
“She and William are very experienced parents, and I’m sure they love all three kids equally — but probably in different ways.”
Even his big sister Charlotte, reportedly the more composed of the trio, tries to rein him in but not always successfully.
“Charlotte seems to keep a watchful eye on her little brother and make sure he’s behaving,” said Bond. “She’s not always successful. But Louis has won the hearts of many people with his antics, and I’d much rather see a cheeky chappie than an immaculately behaved kid.”
Kate herself once acknowledged how quickly her youngest is growing up. During a past royal visit to a maternity unit, she shared: “I keep thinking Louis is a baby, but he’s a big boy now.”
