PRINCE Louis stol the show AGAIN as the cheekiest royal played up during a carriage ride and a balcony appearance at the Trooping of the Colour.
The five-year-old reprised his naughty antics while en route to the ceremony – before covering his ears and stretching his arms as he stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the RAF flypast.

In adorable snaps of the carriage ride, Louis can be seen wrinkling his face, pointing his finger at the sky, pinching his nose and ruffling his immaculately combed hair as he rides with brother Prince George, eight, and his sister Princess Charlotte, nine.
When the Royal Family later appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch an RAF flypast, Louis covered his ears, pumped out his arms and grimaced while saluting the jets overhead.
As a toddler, the prince earned the nation’s love with his cheeky antics on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Platinum Jubilee – when he covered his ears up and jumped up and down.
The fidgety youngster was also seen trying to distract his sister Charlotte during King Charles’s Coronation.

Today Kate and the Royal kids were all smiles as they waved to crowds at King Charles’ first Trooping the Colour parade.
The event, which was rescheduled for today following bad weather last month, will celebrate Charles’ birthday.
The Royals pulled up to Buckingham Palace this morning flanked by security ahead of the spectacular.
Shortly after, Kate, George, Charlotte and Louis joined Camilla as they got into carriages ready to join the procession.
Prince William wore his military uniform, donning his Royal Air Force medals, while Kate stunned in an emerald green dress and matching hat.
The Princess of Wales gave a sweet nod to Princess Diana by wearing her earrings.
Along with his mother’s stunning sapphire engagement ring, William also gave Kate the jewels after he proposed in 2010.
Prince George, nine, and Prince Louis, five, looked dapper in their matching navy suits and red ties.
Charlotte, eight, wore a cute white dress with a red trim and neck tie.
The siblings smiled and waved at fans lined up along The Mall.
King Charles is the first monarch to ride out in 37 years as he travelled with the procession.
Beside him on horseback, was the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh.
As they made their way down The Mall, they were escorted by troops from the Household Cavalry’s Life Guards and Blues and Royals – wearing shining breastplates and plumed helmets.
With the clock striking at 11am, Charles received a salute before the National Anthem was played in the Horse Guards Parade.
Seventy military aircraft including the RAF Red Arrows shot through the skies at 1pm in a massive flypast.
Spitfires, Typhoons, Chinooks, Apaches and a range of other military aircraft flew over 13 English counties.
Trooping the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British monarch for more than 260 years.
Despite King Charles’ actual birthday being on November 14, monarchs typically have two birthdays, with one marked by Trooping the Colour.
The two-birthday tradition for a British monarch dates back to 1748, when King George II combined the annual summer military march with his birthday celebration – even though he was born in November, when it was too cold to have a parade.
When Prince William inherits the throne, his June 21 birthday will coincide with the annual Trooping the Colour – making it possible that he will just celebrate one birthday.
Pomp and pageantry were on display during the military spectacle where the most prestigious regiments in the British Army honoured their Colonel in Chief by parading to mark his anniversary.

Charles had deputised for Queen Elizabeth II at last year’s event, also known as the Birthday Parade, but now rode onto Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall as the nation’s head of state.
Among the guests was Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence and senior military figures.
