Leave it to Prince Louis to make it all better: The Mirror reports that, during grueling Coronation rehearsals, the five-year-old son of the Prince and Princess of Wales cheered up his stressed grandfather, King Charles. As the rehearsals appeared to be taking its toll—not just on the King, but on everyone involved—Louis provided much-needed relief (wonder if that was a practice run to his joyfulness the day of?).
A source said that, after hours of sitting through the different parts of the rehearsals, bishops started messing up their lines, and text from Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 Coronation was used instead of the correct updated version. “The King was seen to be looking worn down and glum on his throne in Westminster Abbey during the rehearsal for the long-running, formal ceremony,” The Mirror writes. “However, he appeared to look brighter and perkier upon spotting his grandson Prince Louis, who was standing near him.” Who wouldn’t?
