Watch Out, Prince Louis—We've Got Another Scene-Stealing Royal on Our Hands

Prince Charles, 5, is the eldest son of Grand Duke Guillaume, 43, and Grand Duchess Stéphanie, 41, and big brother to Prince François, 2. On October 3, a historic moment took place in Luxembourg when Grand Duke Henri officially stepped down after 25 years on the throne, making way for his son, Guillaume, in a voluntary abdication ceremony at the Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg City.

While the transition marked a major moment for the royal family, it was young Prince Charles who truly stole the show.

According to royal fan blog Gert’s Royals, cameras caught the little prince fiddling with his shoelaces during the ceremony—so much so that his grandmother, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, had to step in and help re-tie them.

Another sweet moment? Charles’s face lit up when he heard his name mentioned during the official proceedings, prompting laughter from both his parents and grandparents. Later, when the family stepped out into the palace courtyard, he was seen covering his ears—clearly not a fan of all the noise.

Now, at just five years old, Prince Charles is officially the heir to the Luxembourg throne following his grandfather’s abdication and his father’s accession. With moments like these already charming the public, something tells us we’ll be seeing a lot more of him in the years to come—and yes, Prince Louis may want to watch his (adorable) back.
