- Prince Louis attended King Charles III's coronation on Saturday.
- He appeared bored in photos from the ceremony, and even yawned in one.
Seventy years after he glumly watched as his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was crowned in 1953, King Charles III made history with his own coronation ceremony on Saturday.
And among the 2,000 attendees at Westminster Abbey was 5-year-old Prince Louis, who looked just as bored as his grandfather had during Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
It's not the first time Louis has made his thoughts about royal events clear: Last year, he made headlines when he appeared to have a tantrum during Queen Elizabeth's Trooping the Colour.
Photos from Charles' coronation show the young prince's reactions to the historic event.

Louis' behavior seems to be standard for a young royal at a coronation, though. King Charles was spotted looking equally bored at Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953.

Even before the ceremony started, Louis didn't seem too excited to be there, as shown by his expression when he entered the abbey with his sister, Princess Charlotte.

At another point in the ceremony, Louis and Kate had a whispered conversation, as they did at the Platinum Jubilee in 2022. He later left the ceremony.

He was reunited with his family to travel to Buckingham Palace following the ceremony. That didn't seem to excite him much, either.
