It showed the prince during the royals’ walk to and from church on Christmas Day at Sandringham when they collect presents, including chocolates and flowers from well-wishers.The video also celebrated Prince Louis’ future title of Duke of York, which is traditionally given to the second born son of each generation.One fan replied to the footage: “First clip of Louis is so adorable.”
Another said: “Imagine your parents telling you that you will be king/queen one day.”Prince William and Princess Kate’s children are still very young but one day will likely take the world by storm and eventually eclipse the fame of their parents.At least, that is what has happened to past generations, including William and Harry and their wives, who have for many years commanded more column inches than King Charles III.
After six tumultuous years, beset by public rifts and bombshell interviews, William and Harry’s generation are potentially preparing to finally sail in calmer seas again.Despite George being just 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, there are already signs the public are ready for the torch to pass on to a new generation.As time goes on, growing interest in the younger royals may start to create pressure on them while they are still in childhood.The title Duke of York is currently held by Prince Andrew, which might give it a slightly uncomfortable association for Louis given his great-uncle’s fall from grace.Andrew has retired from public life due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, but he only took on the dukedom when he married, which for Louis will be a long way away.By the time Louis is old enough to tie the knot, Andrew, who turns 65 on February 19, could well be into his 80s or 90s.Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
