Prince Louis is living the high life as the youngest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward divulged to the Sun that Louis “has the perks and privileges of his position — plus the luxuries — without the fuss and responsibility of ever having to be King himself.”
Louis, 5, is currently fourth in the line of succession to the British throne, after the Duke of Cambridge, 41, and his two elder children, George, 10, and Charlotte, 8.
The tyke lives with his family at their primary abode, Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.
The fancy residence has four bedrooms and is just a short distance from St. George’s Chapel, the church where his uncle, Prince Harry, wedded Meghan Markle in 2018.
Louis attends the Lambrook School in Berkshire, where tuition is valued at over $58,000 annually.
Each term costs $5,500 and features a top-notch education, well-equipped with extracurricular activities and more.
Kids also take classes on Saturday and the school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including scuba diving, golf, podcast production, chess, bee-keeping and songwriting.
Louis’ wardrobe is also chockfull of pricey designer threads. The youngster often sports classy clothes from brands such as Amaia, Lallie London and Trotters.
What he dons over his legs is also a reflection of his standing in the royal court.
According to expert William Hanson, wearing trousers is considered too “middle class and suburban” for the royals, which explains why Louis is often seen in shorts, instead.
Traditions have also dictated that long pants are usually reserved for men while younger kids stay with the shorts, the style professional added.
For special occasions, Louis is used to receiving amazing gifts.
His uncle, Prince Harry, bestowed upon him a $10,000 first-edition copy of AA Milne’s “Winnie the Pooh,” from 1926, for his christening in 2018.
The book even has a deep connection to the Duke of Sussex’s mom, the late Princess Diana. “One of Harry’s happiest childhood memories was being read a bedtime story by his mother,” an insider once divulged to the Mirror. “She loved all the old classics and Harry had the brilliant idea of starting a little library of first editions for Louis, Charlotte and George to enjoy as they get older.”
“He originally wanted to get Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through The Looking Glass,’ which was on sale for $30,000, but decided ‘Winnie The Pooh’ would be more suitable for a first time,” the source said.
Louis’ fifth birthday party was also one for the ages. A source revealed to Us Weekly earlier this year that his parents threw him grandiose b-day bash. “Kate has organized a fun adventure-themed birthday party with all his school friends to celebrate the milestone, and she and William are also doing something family-orientated,” they said at the time.
“They always make birthdays special for their children and go the extra mile,” the insider pointed out, adding that the party also had “cakes and sandwiches for guests, as well as plenty of balloon decorations.”
As for family vacations, William and Middleton, 41, frequently jet-sets to the private island of Mustique in the Caribbean.
Louis has visited the hot and sandy isle twice, including when the family took a trip for George’s sixth birthday.
The Cambridges stayed in a $35,000-per-week hacienda and it has a staff that includes a butler, chef, housekeeper and gardener.
An insider claimed to the Sun that the tropical oasis is “incredibly private and incredibly discreet but not remote. They know and trust the staff who work there and they are creatures of habit.”
