On the episode, one individual noted that the “kids were the stars of the show.” Mike’s daughters Mia, eight, and Lena Tinall, three, were seated behind Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte at Sunday’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant, where the youngest member of the Cambridge family stole the spotlight with his facial expressions and antics.

“Louis, he was just wanting to have fun. And my two are always mischievous, so it was trying to keep a lid on. There were a lot of sweets out back though, so they had complete sugar highs,” Mike shared.

“It’s tough for them. They’re all young,” the dad of three added. “It’s a long time. As any parent knows you just do whatever needs to be done.”

The day after the Platinum Jubilee celebrations came to an end, William and Kate gave their four-year-old son a shoutout in a personal message. Reflecting on the “fantastic weekend of celebrations,” the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrote, “We all had an incredible time, especially Louis… 👀.”
