Prince Louisis known for hissteal-stealing appearancesat royal events, but he has yet to bring his adorable moments overseas.
The 5-year-old prince has yet to join his parents —Kate MiddletonandPrince William, both 41 — in representing the royal family overseas, even though his older siblings —Prince George, 10, andPrincess Charlotte, 8 — made their tour debuts as babies.
Prince Louis' first tour likely hasn’t happened yet as a consequence of scheduling rather than a conscientious choice.
Louisturned 2in the spring of 2020 and might have had the chance to participate in a royal tour if the coronavirus pandemic hadn’t hit. Like millions around the globe, the royal family stayedclose to homeduring the health crisis. Prince William and Kate wouldn’t make a joint official overseas tour until the spring of 2022 when theyvisited the Caribbeanin honor ofQueen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
At that point, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were busy with a royal duty of their own: school!

Princess Charlotte made hertour debutat 16 months, traveling to Canada with her parents and big brother George, then 3, in 2016. For William and Kate, the week-long visit was a perfect opportunity to introduce their kids to a major Commonwealth realm before school schedules “make these things difficult later on,” their spokesman said at a pre-tour briefing.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte went abroad with their parents again for afive-day tourof Poland and Germany in 2017.
The family of four would become five when Prince Louiswas bornin April 2018, and William and Kate wouldn’t make another major royal tour for another year.
The fall of 2019 was a busy time for the family — Prince George and Princess Charlotteboth enrolledat Thomas’s Battersea in September, and their parents embarked on what aides called their“most complex”tour to date the following month. William and Kate spent five days in Pakistan in what their spokesman said was a tricky trip “given the logistical and security considerations.” The then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridgetraveled over 600 milesduring their stay, and details about their various outings were not announced in advance.
