Prince Louis' priceless reaction to helping his big sister Princess Charlotte toast marshmallows thrilled royal fans this year.
The lively five-year-old was snapped tucking into the treat as the Wales family took part in the Big Help Out at 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough as they gave the bid to renovate and improve the building a boost. Little Louis was overwhelmed with excitement as he enjoyed a messy s'more around the fire as a reward for his hard work while volunteering.
He lent a hand during his first-ever royal engagement during the summer, which he carried out with his older siblings Prince George and Charlotte for the third day of coronation celebrations. Louis took a well-deserved break from digging with his dad to wrap his lips around the yummy marshmallows.
Footage shows Kate and a scout member helping keen Louis prepare a marshmallow biscuit sandwich, which he really could not wait to devour. He even helped his sister during the day and his mum Kate Middleton with a wheelbarrow on an action-packed afternoon in May.

The Princess of Wales revealed her cute nickname for Louis as she told him to pop his wooden stick in the fire - affectionately calling him 'Lou-Bugs'. The Little Prince didn't waste a second getting the sticky s'more into his mouth and licked the marshmallow off his fingers before tucking it in.

In the background, William can be heard joking about his youngest son: "You won't hear a peep out of him now", which got the crowd chuckling. After Louis' first bite, he turns around and rolls his head backwards in delight, before falling onto Charlotte, who looked like she needed a break!

The Prince had been forced to sit out the Coronation Concert due to his young age and the late finish, but he was keen to make up for that.
Wearing his trademark shorts, Louis sat in his father's lap as William operated a digger and moved the mechanical arm to grab a bucket full of soil before dumping it on a spoil heap. Later, the Prince was given the task of filling a wheelbarrow with what looked like builders' sand and he focused on the job, diligently shovelling the material before wheeling the barrow himself.
