Prince Louis' Royal Delay: 'National Treasure' Set for '2-Year Wait' to Experience Wimbledon Like Princess Charlotte

Prince Louis, who is said to like tennis, has another 'two-year wait' until he can enjoy the Royal Box at Wimbledon like Princess Charlotte.

Prince Louis of Wales, 6, is said to already be a Wimbledon fan, but the "mischievous" royal star could have a long wait ahead of him before he can join Princesses Kate and Charlotte in the Royal Box.

"One royal child who was not at England's Euro 2024 defeat or Wimbledon was Prince Louis," GBN's royal reporter Svar Nanan-Sen dished to royal correspondent Cameron Walker on a recent episode of "The Royal Record Podcast."

"This has caused quite a stir online, with many calling for justice for Prince Louis," he added. "He's still only six, we have to remember."

In what seems to be a precedent being set in the Wales household, Nanan-Sen pointed out: "Charlotte made her first appearance at Wimbledon when she was eight, so he's got to wait a couple more years. But Kate did say last year when George and Charlotte went to Wimbledon without Louis, that he was very upset about it."

"We did get a lovely photograph taken by the Princess of Wales on the Sunday evening of when George and William were in Berlin for the Euros final, but what was lovely was seeing Prince Louis with his big sister, Princess Charlotte, and the Princess of Wales in their private grounds in Adelaide Cottage, we believe, and watching the England game," Walker added.

Speaking more about the image Kate snapped, Walker continued: "They were wearing matching shirts with their names and numbers on the back, their numbers being their ages, so nine for Charlotte and six for Louis, taken by the Princess of Wales. So he got some of the action, but he wasn't perhaps in public."

Nanan-Sen quipped about the "rambunctious" royal: "It was still a disappointment for him because he didn't get to go to Wimbledon and we lost the final."

"He's still very young though," Walker replied. "I'm sure there's time and maybe he'll be in the Royal Box on the time if England's lucky enough to one day win a World Cup or a Euros."

Although not a future monarch, his elder brother George, 10, a.k.a. "the quiet one," holds that distinction — Louis has already become known as a "national treasure" in Britain, and this designation was given to His Royal Highness due in part to his "expected antics" at large royal events. He even made the late Queen Elizabeth II chuckle with delight during her final Trooping the Colour on June 2, 2022.

At that memorable event, lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman told an outlet that Louis said "woah" to his mother during a jet flypast. Then, addressing his iconic great-grandmother, who passed away some three months later, Louis inquired: "Are the Red Arrows coming?" The late Queen humorously responded: "I hope so."

Louis is expected to one day become "the Duke of York" during his father's future reign, and if the title is available.
