“She’s very tired after yesterday,” the Prince of Wales, 40, told a young girl,according toHello!magazine. “She’s having a quiet day at home. It was making sure her little brother behaved himself.”

As one of the youngest members of the royal family in attendance, Louis left the ceremony for a likely planned respite, but later rejoined his parents and siblings in the procession out of Westminster Abbey following the crowning.
Louis was photographed waving — and yawning again — during thecarriage ride following the ceremonyas part of the Coronation Procession.
Upon arriving at Buckingham Palace and appearing on the balcony alongsideKing CharlesandQueen Camilla, Louis seemed to point out the Red Arrows' planes as they flew over Buckingham Palace. At one point, Louis even let out a yelp — to the delight of his parents and Charlotte — during the flypast, which was scaled down due to rain, causing his family members to erupt into laughter.
