Royal onlookers were also obsessed with the moment Princess Charlotte forced Prince Louis to tone down his waving enthusiasm as they rode in the Jubilee carriage procession on the big weekend.
As the Cambridge trio rode alongside Kate Middleton and Duchess Camilla, the little ones waved to the crowds.
But Charlotte made sure to put a stop to Louis' royal wave when she felt it had gone on too long, sassily moving his arm down out of view in a typical big sibling moment that quickly went viral.
