It's hard to believe, but Prince Louis, the son of Prince William and Princess Kate, recently turned five years old. Which, considering the family history, means he's got between four and 68 years before possibly having to assume the throne. Plus, as it stands now, the only way Louis needs to worry about donning the crown is if sister Princess Charlotte, brother Prince George, father Prince William, and soon-to-be-coronated King Charles all abdicate the role.
So, as such, Prince Louis is entitled to have as normal a childhood as possible. And that includes what sounds like a fairly normal and grounded, albeit probably a bit expensive, fifth birthday party with his friends and family. Printed Balloon
Us Weekly got the inside scoop on Louis's soiree, thanks to an exclusive insider source they have (we do not personally have an inside source on the birthday parties of children of royalty, but this author does know a guy who sometimes knows what the next Happy Meal toy is gonna be before it comes out, so we're hoping that will be useful at some point).
Their source reports that the party had "...had cakes and sandwiches for guests to taste, as well as plenty of balloon decorations." An entertainer was also on-hand "...to dazzle partygoers."
And for gifts? Us Weekly's source reports that "Louis received a Pickleball set and an outdoor obstacle course." At a time where his Grandpa is receiving priceless ancient relics as coronation gifts, it feels good to know that the kids of the royal family are getting the same kind of gifts people everywhere—albeit people slightly older than five years old, given the recent explosion of pickleball courts in adult communities—are getting this year.
I mean, sure, it's a bit weird to have strong feelings about what any five-year-old gets for their birthday, royal or not, but if we have to have feelings on such a thing, they might as well be positive ones.
