Prince Louis has been spotted playing up to his mother during the Platinum Pageant at the Palace on Sunday.

The four-year-old royal was seated in the Royal Box to watch the lengthy street parade, which proved a little too much for the youngest Cambridge child.

He was caught on camera putting his hand across Kate's mouth, trying to shush her as she attempted to tell him to sit still (watch the video above).

The Duchess of Cambridge appeared to reprimand her son who then turned to her and scolded her back.

Kate then gave up and had a smile on her face, admitting defeat.

But little Louis had the final say, making a funny face and blowing a raspberry in his mum's direction.

Kate swiftly put Louis' hand down, before he did it again with his left hand.

While the moment was probably a little embarrassing for Kate, she appeared to see the funny side and turned away smiling.

Prince Louis was animated throughout the parade, running up and down the seats and jumping onto his grandfather's lap.

His cousin Mike Tindall was seen jokingly warning Louis that he was watching him from the seats above.

While Louis was acting how a four-year-old would be in a similar situation, there were some moments where he sat still to watch the spectacle alongside his siblings Prince George, eight, and Princess Charlotte, seven.

Soon after he joined his parents, along with the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the finale to the Platinum Jubilee weekend.

Two days earlier Prince Louis stole the show during Trooping the Colour, pulling a series of funny faces as the rest of the royals watched a flypast of aircraft from the palace balcony.

Louis was seen covering his ears as 70 aircraft roared overhead, his great-grandmother the Queen leaning down to speak to him at times.
