Following a fun-filled night at the King's Coronation concert at Windsor Castle, Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped out with their family on Monday as they volunteered at a local scout hut as part of the Big Help Out.The Prince and Princess of Wales - along with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - joined volunteers in renovating the Scout Hut, with works including resetting a path, digging a new soakaway, sanding and revarnishing the front door, adding planters to the front of the building and adding a mural to create a lasting legacy of the Big Help Out’s work. Louis, five, may have missed out on the concert celebrations Sunday evening because it was past his bedtime, but he was on hand to help out today as he got stuck into work.
Wearing a striped t-shirt and jeans, Louis was seen messing about in a digger. He sat in his father’s lap as William, 40, moved the mechanical arm and grabbed a bucket full of soil before dumping it on a spoil heap, with his siblings George, nine, and Charlotte, eight, watching on.
Later, Louis 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. Kate, 41, who has been Joint President of the Scouts since 2020, looked casual in a denim shirt as she helped him.
George, who also had a go on the digger, was allowed to use a drill and concentrated as he worked making a hole in a piece of wood. Charlotte, who wore a pink jumper and denim shorts, was spotted painting what appeared to be doors and Louis tried his hand at interior decorating, making hand prints on a wall under the direction of mum Kate.
