His full name is Louis Arthur Charles

The prince's full name is full of deep meaning-from the fact that Louis means "famous warrior" to honoring several members of the royal family. For example, Prince Philip's uncle and King Charles III's mentor, the late Lord Louis Mountbatten. He was tragically killed in a terrorist attack organized by the Irish Republican Army in 1979.

Prince Louis's third name, Charles, was given in honor of his grandfather, King Charles, and means "free man." When he was born, the then-prince said: "We are very happy with the news. It's a great joy to have another grandson, the only trouble is that I don't know how I'm going to keep up with them."

Prince Louis's christening took place in the Royal Chapel of St. James's Palace

He also participates in charitable initiatives aimed at supporting those in need and loves the public. The youngest son of the Dukes often waves to his subjects during public events, charming everyone with his smile.
