Prince Louis, the beloved member of the royal family, has been winning hearts with his sweet interactions and knack for breaking royal protocol.
It seems that he has inherited his grandfather’s green thumb, as Princess Catherine recently revealed their shared hobby during the children’s hospice week.
The princess, while helping to plant a garden at the nook, expressed how Louis has taken a keen interest in gardening.
She mentioned that the children are thoroughly enjoying growing their sunflowers, but Louis’ success in this endeavor has made his older brother, Prince George, a little grumpy.
During a surprise appearance at the Chelsea Flowers show, Princess Catherine further disclosed that Louis has been growing sunflowers at school and broad beans in cups.
She marveled at how quickly these plants grow, just like sunflowers.
This passion for gardening is something she shares with her father-in-law, King Charles, who is known for his horticultural skills and the eco-friendly climatopiary garden he created on the Sandringham estate.
King Charles has always had a love for gardening, as he reminisced about his childhood experiences of trying to grow tomatoes with his sister.
Following in his grandmother’s footsteps, Louis has developed a strong interest in gardening and nature.
At his school, Lambrick School in Windsor, Louis often spends time outdoors after a long day, needing to release his energy.
Recently, Louis joined his siblings in volunteering at the Big Help Out event, where they helped move soil using a digger under the guidance of their father.
The five-year-old prince eagerly took control of the mechanical arm, filling a wheelbarrow with builder’s sand and wheeling it himself.
Encouraging children to explore various hobbies and interests is crucial, as it allows them to discover their passions.
When a child’s interest aligns with a parent’s own hobby, it creates a special bond within the family.
Princess Catherine has also passed on her love for the outdoors to all three of her children.
Her eldest, Prince George, takes care of farm animals at their country home, Anmer Hall, while Princess Charlotte shares her fascination with nature.
It is likely that Princess Catherine, who has dedicated herself to promoting early years development, has encouraged her children’s interests.
She herself is an avid gardener and has even taken up beekeeping in recent years.
Drawing inspiration from her children, she collaborated with landscape architects to create a garden that features interactive elements and toys similar to those her children have at home.
In conclusion, the bond between King Charles and his grandson Louis has been strengthened through their shared love for gardening.
As Louis continues to grow, his passion for nature and gardening serves as a testament to his growth and development.
With Princess Catherine’s guidance and support, it is clear that the royal family has found a common interest that brings them closer together.
