Prince Louis' famous dance moves during the Platinum Jubilee look unmistakably similar to Prince William's in archive footage that resurfaced on TikTok.

They say the apple never falls far from the tree and Prince Louis, 5, may have his dad to thank for the routine that won him many fans.

Prince Louis was the star of the show throughout Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, including at the pageant on the Sunday, June 5, when he was filmed dancing.

And a fan of the Wales family compared his moves to his father's in an old clip from William's childhood.

A video posted with the caption "Like WILLIAM, like LOUIS!" was viewed 82,500 times and liked almost 5,500 times after it was posted on TikTok.

The original poster added in a comment: "Little Louis isn't afraid to be himself, just like his father. Charisma runs through his blood."

One comment read: "Louis is all his dad when it comes to his energy."

Another read: "Prince Louis sure got his dads dance moves.. soooo cute."

Rugby star Mike Tindall, whose wife Zara was a granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, told his The Good, The Bad and The Rugby podcast in June 2022 how the children were on a sugar high at the time.

He said: "Louis, he just wanted to have fun. And my two are always mischievous so it was trying to keep a lid on.

"There were lots of sweets out back though, so they had complete sugar highs."

Mike and Zara Tindall's daughters, Mia and Lena, were also in the royal box that day, along with their cousins Isla and Savannah, daughters of Peter Phillips, Zara's brother.

It is Savannah, now 12, who is visible in the background behind Louis and during the event she was seen giving her younger cousin a high-five.

Princess Charlotte also sits alongside Louis, while off camera he was also next to his mother Kate Middleton.

The Platinum Pageant was by no means the only time Prince Louis won over fans with his dancing, after an adorable display at King Charles III's coronation in May.

The prince was again spotted dancing, tapping along to the music and generally giving his all to the days events.
