While we might not be privy to the inner workings of the Cambridge family’s personal life, it’s clear that this is an incredibly exciting and busy time for the British royal family. Just a day after Queen Elizabeth took the royal helicopter to visit her newest grandchild, her eldest son, Prince Charles, followed suit, visiting Prince Louis alongside his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles.
Charles’ Reaction to Baby Louis
After the birth of his newest grandson, Charles expressed his joy, saying, “We are both so pleased at the news. It is a great joy to have another grandchild, the only trouble is I don’t know how I am going to keep up with them!” His words perfectly capture the whirlwind of excitement and love surrounding the royal family right now.
