After successfully dropping off and picking up the children, Kate Middleton joined the rest of the royal family for a public appearance. It remains unknown whether little Louis, who at just 20 months old in 2019, often expressed his desire to be with her by insisting “me, me, me,” felt any anxiety about his first day apart from his mother. His attachment to Kate suggests a strong bond, one that many parents can relate to as they navigate the challenges of parenting during significant events.

While interacting with the mourners gathered to pay their respects outside Windsor Castle on September 10, 2022, Kate was heard fondly recalling her son’s sweet words: “My little Louis, he’s so sweet, he’s like, ‘Mummy don’t worry, she’s now with great-grandpa.'” This heartfelt sentiment reflects the innocent understanding children possess, offering comfort during times of grief.

As this touching moment resonated with those present, Kate further elaborated, “It just shows you how special she was to everybody, all generations.” This statement highlights the profound impact that Queen Elizabeth II had on her family and the nation, illustrating the deep emotional connections shared across different age groups.

Little Louis, who is following in his mother’s footsteps as a budding photographer, is clearly an empath with a maturity that belies his young age. However, being only four years old at the time meant he stayed home while his siblings, George and Charlotte, attended the queen’s solemn funeral at Westminster Abbey with their parents. Despite his absence, Louis was perceptive enough to sense a shift in the family dynamic. Reports indicate that he asked whether their future trips to Balmoral Castle would be different without his beloved Gan-Gan present.
