Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Prince Louis displayed a significant change at Saturday's Trooping the Colour, but still had his siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to guide him, an expert has said. The seven year-old, who has consistently delighted crowds at major events with his cheeky personality, was back charming royal enthusiasts. He was spotted sweetly waving during the carriage ride with his mother Kate and his siblings, as well as flashing a toothless smile. He was also seen giggling with his older brother George and giving a lingering wave to the crowd as the royal family departed from the Buckingham Palace balcony. READ MORE - Kate Middleton's 'firm' command to Prince Louis on palace balcony exposed While captivating spectators, body language expert Judi James believes he offered a peek into his potential future. She told the Mirror: "Prince Louis's body language on the balcony suggested he's grown from the playful member of the royal firm into a fully fledged plane-spotter. "He appeared more focused than fidgety, observing each aircraft as they flew overhead before turning to his dad in what seemed like an attempt to identify them. (Image: PA) (Image: Samir Hussein/WireImage) (Image: Getty Images) "The enthusiastic nods from William and the proud smiles from Kate suggested he was correct with all of them, too. With a father and grandfather both pilots, there are indications this might be a future career for Louis.", reports the Mirror. "He is also a very confident-looking young royal too. Charles nudged him to chat and Louis was the one lingering longest to wave to the crowds, only turning to go in when Charlotte ushered him." During the iconic balcony moment, Royal family members were spotted engaging in conversation as aircraft soared above the palace. Onlookers lining The Mall erupted into cheers as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team – the Red Arrows – streaked across the sky, leaving behind vibrant trails of red, white, and blue smoke. The team utilised a mix of sustainable aviation fuel and standard jet fuel for their engines, while a renewable biofuel was used to create the colourful smoke trails. The royals gave one final wave to the crowd before retreating back into the Palace. In other news, Kate resumed her significant role at Trooping the Colour today, joining the King and Queen. As Colonel of the Irish Guards, she took her place on the dais with the King and Queen to observe the impressive military parade at Horse Guards Parade. Last year, she watched the display from the Major General's office with her children, marking her return to duty following the commencement of her cancer treatment. Today, Kate arrived at Horse Guards Parade in an Ascot Landau carriage, accompanied by her three children. She looked stunning in a turquoise Catherine Walker coat dress, a hat by Juliette Botterill, her Irish Guards Regimental brooch, and a pair of earrings that once belonged to the late Queen, before taking her seat on the parade ground. At last year's Trooping the Colour, Kate made a triumphant return, making her first official public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis.

Father and son say starring with Harrison Ford in whisky campaign was ‘surreal'
The episodic ads are directed by actor and filmmaker Joel Edgerton, and feature the Star Wars actor playing himself as they follow the production of Glenmorangie Original 12 Years Old and The Infinita 18 Years Old, in Tain. The adverts, being shown on TV and social media and also available on YouTube, are said by Glenmorangie to celebrate 'the significance of its home, its craftsmanship and the people that make its award-winning whiskies'. Ford is shown on film getting to grips with Scottish pronunciation and kilt etiquette, bonding with locals over a dram, and getting to know the Duff family. In the second ad, The Campaign, Ford arrives and after mistaking Mr Duff Jnr for another Alan in another department, is given a lesson on how to pronounce Glenmorangie correctly. Mr Duff Jnr, a production operator, said: 'I was very proud to be chosen to play opposite Harrison. You knew you were in the presence of someone so successful, but he made us all feel so comfortable and gave me the advice to just be myself on screen.' He joined the distillery nine years ago after graduating from university, and said the Hollywood star made him forget they were being filmed. Mr Duff Jnr said: 'Filming the scene itself was a lot of fun, but totally surreal. He is such a good actor, I was in awe watching him and sometimes didn't know when he was in or out of character. 'He kept me on my toes when he went off script but gave me the space to wing it and bounce off of him, so much so I forgot the cameras were there. 'Not all fathers and sons have the opportunity to learn alongside each other so I consider myself lucky to get to work with my father every day, and sharing the experience acting alongside Harrison Ford together is something I'll never forget.' Promotional photograph of Harrison Ford wearing a kilt (Lachlan Bailey/PA) In the fifth advert, The Distillery, Ford meets the whole production team, including the father and son due, and he jokes to Mr Duff Snr: 'Ahhhh… he's your fault.' Ford then instructs Mr Duff Jnr: 'Look after me car' – a rare Eagle Speedster Jaguar E-type. In the 10th episode, called Teamwork, Ford raises his glass to toast 'the good people of Glenmorangy' – before being corrected again by Mr Duff Jnr, who tells him: 'It's Glenmorangie.' Mr Duff Snr, a production operator for nearly 30 years, said: 'I was quite nervous to 'act' alongside a global icon like Harrison Ford, but he was a gem of a guy and it was great to see him working. 'My son Alan managed to grow quite a rapport with him, so when Harrison uncovered the fact I was his father, we all had a joke about that.'
