Prince Louis, the seven-year-old son of Prince William, has earned top honors as the most mischievous royal in a recent poll celebrating the 75th anniversary of the iconic cartoon character Dennis the Menace. Conducted among 1,000 children for Beano, the survey ranked Louis 22nd out of 75 notable figures, dubbing him the “monarchy’s official mischief correspondent.”
Poll Highlights Other Royals
Louis surpassed his uncle Prince Harry, who landed at 24th and earned the tag “royal by birth, rebel by nature.” The Duke of Sussex, known for his past as a lively royal figure, stepped back from senior duties alongside his wife Meghan Markle in 2020. Princess Charlotte, 10, received the label “royal by name… rebel by nature,” while her brother Prince George, 12, was called the “future king, currently bored kid at parades.” King Charles placed 54th as “the very serious man who sometimes can’t help cracking a joke.” Queen Camilla also appeared in a Beano cartoon earlier this year.
Memorable Cheeky Moments
Louis first captured global attention during the 2022 Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The then-four-year-old made faces, stuck out his tongue at his mother Kate, and covered her mouth during the parade. Mike Tindall responded with a stern “I’m watching you” gesture. At Trooping the Colour, Louis plugged his ears as Spitfires flew overhead, amusing his grandmother Queen Elizabeth beside him.
His playful side persisted at last May’s VE Day events, where he teased George by dramatically swishing his hair in mockery of his brother’s serious grooming moment.
Energetic Outlets for Young Louis
With boundless energy, Louis channels it into dance and drums. During a recent Leicester visit, Kate praised a group of Bollywood dancers, noting, “You must be super fit because it’s super energetic. My children would love that; they love their dancing. Louis would love your dance routine.” The Wales family home at Forest Lodge in Windsor likely echoes with lively sounds.
