A young royal's first appearance on a official foreign tour is an important milestone that makes headline news all over the world. This first step into royal life often takes place at a very early age, with everyone from Prince William to Prince George and Princess Charlotte embarking on their first royal tour as toddlers - but Prince Louis is still yet to do so.
Even his younger cousin, Archie, joined Prince Harry and Meghan on their South African tour shortly before they stepped down as senior royals. The coronavirus pandemic put a halt to many royal duties, with restrictions making it almost impossible for foreign tours to take place. As a result, Prince Louis has not yet had the chance to make his first official trip overseas, the Mirror reports.
Despite being well past the age most royal children would typically join their parents abroad, four-year-old Prince Louis has been unable to follow the tradition set by the young royals before him. His big brother Prince George was just 10 months old when he joined the Prince and Princess of Wales on their trip to New Zealand and Australia in 2014.
