Monday also saw Prince Louis carry out his first official engagement, as the Wales family volunteered with the Scouts in Slough.

Eager to try everything from shovelling sand to painting a planter base and wheeling a barrow, the five-year-old royal ended the day splashed with paint but got his reward – a marshmallow-and-chocolate biscuit sandwich.
