While painting the base of a planter later, he ignored his sister, Princess Charlotte, 8, who told him he had paint in his hair. “Louis, look at me!” she said. “You’ve got to wipe it.” When someone suggested he may grow up to be a painter, he replied, “No, a fighter pilot.” AP

It was Prince Louis’ first royal engagement and he was rewarded later with a toasted marshmallow sandwiched between two chocolate biscuits. Conceived by Buckingham Palace as a tribute to newly crowned King Charles III’s focus on public service, the “Big Help Out” encouraged people from all walks of life to try volunteering for themselves and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas.
