Prince Louis was the double of his dad Prince William as he made a cheeky appearance at his grandfather King Charles' coronation this weekend. The playful young royal, five, made some hilarious expressions during the occasion which was broadcast worldwide on TV.

While Prince Louis very much looked the part, his cheekiest moments were caught on camera: when he let out a sneaky yawn, looked up distractedly towards the ceiling, and pointed out things of interest to his sister Princess Charlotte, eight.

Prince William openly yawned while he was sat next to his six-year-old cousin Laura Fellowes. Now 37 years later, his youngest son Louis had the exact same response during the coronation.

Princess Charlotte kept a close eye on her younger brother during the coronation and was on hand to give him some helpful pointers. The princess, who was the picture of elegance in her white cape dress and floral-inspired headpiece, sweetly held her brother's hand when they arrived behind their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The prince was given a break during the two-hour ceremony as an early exit was pre-planned for Prince Louis, due to his young age. It marked the first major royal event he has attended, with Prince Louis not attending his grandmother's funeral in September last year. The royal was reunited with his family once again as he took part in his first family carriage procession with his parents - the Prince and Princess of Wales - as well as his sister Princess Charlotte and brother Prince George.
