Kate Middleton 'worried' about 'kamikaze' Prince Louis' sporting future

Following his cheeky antics on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, some fans of The Firm have decided that Prince Louis is their new favourite royal. In June, the four-year-old was spotted pulling funny faces on the balcony, dancing in his chair, running around the Royal Box, climbing on the laps of his relatives, and covering his mother's mouth.

Although the Platinum Jubilee two months ago was the first occasion on which members of the public saw Prince Louis' cheeky side, the Duchess of Cambridge has hinted at her youngest son's unruly ways in the past. Prince William has mentioned before that Louis is very outdoorsy, whilst his mother expressed her concern for Louis playing sports in the future, as he likes to 'be in the middle of everything'.

Kate shed some light on her son's unstoppable energy when she met with Mila Sneddon, a young girl and cancer survivor who captured Kate's heart during her Hold Still photography project, MyLondon reports. Speaking about Louis, Kate revealed: "I can't keep up with him.

"Louis has got so big now, he's very quick running around and he's on his little scooter as well. He's very quick. I can't keep up with him."

During another engagement, which saw the Duchess of Cambridge introduced as the new patron of Rugby Football Union, she shared that all three of her children enjoy playing rugby. But, out of all three of them, Kate has some particular worries about Louis.

She said: "They're all enjoying it, Louis is kamikaze. We're worrying about when he gets older, he'll be in the middle of everything."

One of the best anecdotes about Prince Louis came from his father, the Duke of Cambridge. During his appearance on the BBC ahead of his Earthshot Prize ceremony last year, Prince William spoke about his three children, and how they are inheriting his environmental awareness.

William said: "I think [George] has a definite sense of realisation and understanding so education is really key. So, for instance, knowing not to overuse water, being careful with our resources, turning off light switches, things like that, which was instilled in me growing up.

"Charlotte is just a bit young, she's still not quite sure and actually Louis just enjoys playing outside the whole time - he lives outside. But I think it is slowly dawning on them that these things matter but when you are that young, you just want to have fun and enjoy it."

Following his appearance at the Platinum Jubilee, Zara Tindall's husband Mike spoke on his popular podcast 'The Good, The Bad and The Rugby' about Louis and the other royal children. He told his co-hosts: "Louis, he was just wanting to have fun.

"And my two are always mischievous so it's trying to keep a lid on. There were a lot of sweets out back though, so there was a real sugar high.

"It's tough for them. They're all young… it's a long time. But as any parents knows you just do whatever needs to be done."
