Young royal wins praise for helping surprise Princess Charlotte at carol service
Prince Louis has made his mother, Princess Catherine, proud — not for his usual playful antics, but for keeping a heartwarming royal secret that made a family moment all the more special.
According to HELLO! magazine, the six-year-old son of the Prince and Princess of Wales played a quiet but crucial role in last year’s Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey. The annual event, hosted by Catherine, featured a surprise ballet performance especially arranged for Princess Charlotte — and Louis knew about it all along.
Despite his young age and spirited personality, Louis managed to keep the performance a complete secret from his older sister, impressing not only his parents but also those involved in the event.
“The Princess was extremely proud of Louis for not letting the surprise slip,” a source shared, noting how much the moment meant to Charlotte, who is known to be fond of ballet.
Even Lady Gabriella Windsor, who helped curate the event’s musical lineup, was unaware of the surprise segment.
“There were surprises for everyone, even the people involved,” Lady Gabriella told HELLO! “It was very special… extremely moving.”
Artists such as Gregory Porter and Rosey Chan performed at the festive occasion, but the moment that touched the family most was the quiet teamwork between siblings — a testament to the strong bond among the Wales children.
In a royal world often filled with protocol and public attention, Prince Louis’ innocent act of discretion proved both charming and meaningful — and a proud parenting moment for Catherine.
