Kate Middleton's Facial Expressions Were Prince Louis-Level at Yesterday's Outing
Prince Louis has won the hearts of royal fans with his cheeky moments and meme-worthy expressions at several public events. For instance, during his grandad's coronation ceremony in 2023, he stole the show with his silly antics. Then, during last year's Trooping the Colour, he showed off his dance moves and made funny faces while joining his family on the palace balcony. Once again, the young royal entertained fans with his playful personality when he attended the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. And now, his mom is following suit. This week, Princess Catherine joined her husband, Prince William, at the official naming ceremony of the HMS Glasgow. On Instagram, the couple shared highlights from the event and wrote, "Everything is looking ship shape! A pleasure to meet with members of the Ship's Company and their families, as well as BAE Systems' Shipbuilding Academy apprentices and graduates, and some of the incredibly skillful teams involved in the building of the ship." Per usual, the princess looked stunning in her navy and white ensemble, but I couldn't help but notice that she was much more expressive during the royal outing. For example, after boarding the ship, the princess was quite animated as she spoke with team members, using hand gestures and speaking with raised eyebrows. Also, in one standout photo, the princess is captured in the middle of a friendly pipe-building competition with her husband. Towards the end, when the royal mom is declared the winner, her piece begins to fall apart—and her facial expression is priceless.

Samir Hussein/WireImage It looks like the proud mom passed down more than just her love of photography. Perhaps this means we'll see more meme-worthy snaps of the mother-son duo together? (I certainly hope so.) Want all the latest royal family news sent right to your inbox? Click here.

Kate Middleton Breaks Whisky Bottle in Ship Naming Tradition on Scotland Trip with Prince William
Kate Middleton and Prince William have shipped up to Scotland. The Prince and Princess of Wales stepped out at the BAE Systems' shipyard in Scotstoun, Glasgow, on May 22, where Kate had a special duty. After being appointed as the sponsor of HMS Glasgow, a state-of-the-art anti-submarine frigate, in June 2021, Princess Kate took part in the Royal Navy ship's official naming ceremony. Kate released a bottle of whisky, which broke against the ship's hull in a naming tradition. Following the ceremony, the royal couple went aboard the ship and met representatives leading the delivery of the ship, apprentices and graduates of the Shipbuilding Academy and Royal Navy members, who discussed the ship's construction and capabilities. In 2022, Princess Kate met Royal Navy sailors from HMS Glasgow at Windsor Castle to hear about the progress of work being done on the ship. Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, recently visited Scotland — where they go by the titles of Duke and Duchess of Rothesay — in April, celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary in the country where they first met and fell in love. The pair first crossed paths as college students at the University of St. Andrews. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more!
