In addition to his older siblings, Prince Louis has many great cousins who show him royal duty.
On Christmas, the royal family went on their annual trip to church. Prince Louis (5) appeared with his parents Kate Middleton and Prince William and siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte. He was also seen holding hands with another young lady, Mia Tindall. Mia is the 9-year-old daughter of Prince William’s cousin Zara, and William is her godfather.
Mia appeared to be leading the procession with her parents, Zara and Mike Tindall, walking behind Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. The Tindalls held hands with their 5-year-old daughter Lena, who walked between them.
The couple’s youngest child, two-year-old son Lucas, did not join the walk to church, presumably too young to attend the service.

She then joined the others in greeting the well-wishers waiting outside. At one point, Mia was spotted with a bouquet of red roses presented to her by Princess Kate, who accepted the flowers from a well-wisher.

In 2021, Prince William gave a little more insight into his Christmas favorites and holiday traditions, including his children playing with other family members.
“For me in general getting the family together at Christmas is always nice because we’re spread out quite a lot doing our own thing a lot of the time of the year. We have very few moments to actually get together,” the Prince of Wales said while appearing on the radio show. “When I see my kids meet my cousin’s kids, and they all have a great time playing together, it’s very special. I’m really looking forward to that.”

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis clearly have a close relationship with their cousins. Prince George and Savannah Phillips, daughter of Prince William’s cousin Peter Phillips and his ex-wife Autumn, have been an adorable (and sometimes mischievous!) couple during several royal events.
The pair drew attention at the Trooping the Color ceremony in 2018. As the royal family gathered on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the flyover, Prince George caught a case of the giggles – prompting Savannah to cover her mouth and flash a dead stare, seemingly knowing the cameras were watching. She was also seen putting her finger over her mouth to silence the future king. Also watching was Prince William, who didn’t seem at all amused by the toddler’s antics!

Just a day later, Savannah and George reunited to cheer on Prince William at his charity polo match in Gloucester, England. During the game, which included running around the court and playing with a Slinky, Savannah playfully pushed Prince George down a hill when he tried to sit next to her.
Although George was not injured and regained his balance, Savannah was not unscathed as she was scolded by her mom Autumn immediately afterwards.
Savannah’s prank didn’t end there, as she was also spotted ruffling George’s hair when he wasn’t looking.
The cousins returned to the frenzy at Princess Eugenie’s wedding in October 2018, where they served as members of the bridal party.
As they waited to walk down the aisle in front of the bride, Savannah was spotted making George laugh by mimicking the trumpeters who played the fanfare for the entrance to the ceremony. Maybe he realized the cameras were on him, because he was filmed covering his mouth.
