Memories of the way Prince Louis behaved during Trooping the Colour (and the rest of the events around the Queen's Jubilee) in 2022 may prevent the toddler from getting a chance to watch his grandfather be crowned king next month. Royal experts think Louis' infamous antics may keep him sidelined during the event, disappointing everyone who has a soft spot of the tyke's "bad" behavior.

A palace source told Page Six about Louis' possible coronation cutoff.
The shadow of Louis' past few public appearances are apparently hanging over him as the May event approaches, with an insider telling the magazine that the royals aren't quite sure whether the little man will make the cut.
For those who may not remember, Louis pretty much stole the show last year when he carried on much like you'd expect any toddler to during several days of high-profile events.
Louis couldn't seem to mind his manners during the parade and pageantry.
Between the hilarious faces Louis made while he was on the balcony with his famous family to the way he put mom Kate Middleton in her place when she tried to rein him in during the parade, Louis captured the hearts and attention of pretty much everyone who tuned in to watch the events unfold.
He even got the meme treatment on Twitter.
People quickly took to Twitter to celebrate the little boy's many facial expressions and to use them to create stories of their own.
The fervor over his antics didn't die down, either. Even though he wasn't in attendance during the Queen's September 2022 memorial services people used snaps from Trooping the Colour to paint a picture of what they assumed was going on behind closed doors back at the palace while Louis was left to his own devices.
Palace officials seem to understand that Louis can't really help himself.
Nobody seems to be blaming Louis for acting out last year. "He’s only 4, after all," an insider conceded to Page Six.
Another Kensington source explained that there was always still a chance that Louis would make a last-minute appearance. "The Prince and Princess of Wales will make a decision on Prince Louis' attendance closer to the time," the person said.

Louis has received an official invite to the coronation.
The soon-to-be 5-year-old was listed on the family's invitation, alongside brother Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Although his older two siblings are expected to watch the coronation in person — George is even expected to have an important role in the festivities — we have a hunch that Louis will be tuning in from home like the rest of us.
Given his history, that's probably the best for the king and the rest of the royals.
