Few rulers can claim to have a Golden or Diamond Jubilee, and only one British monarch has had a Platinum Jubilee: Queen Elizabeth. The event was met with much awe considering not just the length of her reign of 70 years, but also her age of 96. Of course, while the adults recognize the gravity of the situation, four-year-old Prince Louis had other priorities in his young life. Louis is the son of Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton; William is, in turn the son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. While Louis's great-grandmother marked seven decades on the throne, he was busy marking his place in history in a different way: with a lot of dramatic facial expressions that won social media over and started a whole new picture trend.

But another user kept up the humor and in response to a picture of Louis kissing his mom, joked, "Stop saying this is a sweet moment between Prince Louis and Princess Kate. No it is not.
