Prince Louis took his first step toward becoming a working royal on Sunday.

King Charles III's coronation took place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, formalizing his role as monarch and making his wife Queen Camilla.

The royal family hosted multiple events to celebrate the historic event, including the Big Help Out, a day encouraging people to do volunteer work in their communities.

Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, visited the 3rd Upton Scouts Hut for the Big Help Out to participate in landscaping and painting projects.

They brought their children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, with them.

While Louis has attended royal events and family outings in the past, the visit on Sunday marked his first official royal engagement on behalf of the monarchy.

The youngest Wales sibling was hands-on at the event. He was photographed pushing a wheelbarrow, sitting on an excavator with William, and adding his painted handprint to a wall.

Louis also got to have some fun while giving back to the community. He toasted marshmallows with his family and got to use a bow and arrow.

Louis attended the coronation on Saturday, processing with Charlotte behind his mother and father.

He didn't appear to find the coronation ceremony as fun as he found the Big Help Out, as Louis was photographed looking around Westminster Abbey and yawning during the ceremony.

Louis also left the coronation briefly, appearing to take a break from the crowd.

The 5-year-old prince is no stranger to stealing the show at royal events. In 2022, he seemed to have a tantrum at Trooping the Colour, and he stuck his tongue out at Kate at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
