Did you know... that despite having no official role, the British town crier Tony Appleton (pictured) is internationally famous for his announcements of royal events such as the birth of Prince Louis of Cambridge?

Official appearances

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I must object to this entire section. Being carried around by parents as a toddler is not encyclopedic information. "Joining" parents on balconies is not either. A child behaving like a child is, again, not something one would expect to read about in an encyclopedia. This sort of thing is precisely why we have WP:NOTNEWS, and this article fails both the not-news-reports and not-diary provisions of it. Surtsicna (talk) 17:49, 5 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

In all of the official appearances mentioned, he was not being 'carried around' he was standing and representing the family. You clearly don't understand that as members of the monarchy they are representing Britain at all times in public. It doesn't matter what his age is. 174.115.15.87 (talk) 06:52, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

First official royal engagement

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Today 8th may), Prince Louis attended his first official royal engagement at Scout Hut in Berkshire with his parents and siblings. Someone include this in "official appearances" section. 2A00:23C6:4B42:F301:2471:ED36:A742:BE38 (talk) 16:11, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

That doesn't make sense to me. He's obviously been to other official events before that. He was present at the Coronation and the Platinum Jubilee. Celia Homeford (talk) 11:49, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Currently the photograph in place is from the Platinum Jubilee group balcony shot in 2022. The picture is taken from a great distance and is quite blurry. There are two more recent shots of him in the carriage for Trooping the Colour 2022 and 2023 which I would like to recommend instead.

Jubilee 2022
Trooping 2023
Trooping 2024

There's also this one from the coronation procession but the reflections of onlookers' faces over his probably make it unusable. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Robin S. Taylor I would like to know your choice (given you are the one starting this discussion) before putting forth my opinion. Looking forward to your response. Regards MSincccc (talk) 12:47, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I favour Trooping 2024 as it is the most recent one and has the clearest view of his face, even with the raindrops. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 13:34, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Fine then. I will not oppose your proposal. Pinging other experienced editors so that they can join the discussion-@Keivan.f:, @DrKay:, @Tim O'Doherty:, @Nikkimaria:. Regards MSincccc (talk) 13:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
