Prince Louis has a very adorable bedtime routine with Prince William

Prince William spoke charmingly about his bedtime routine with his youngest child Prince Louis as he attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace this week.

The Prince of Wales hosted the party for several esteemed invited guests on Tuesday, and one of the people he chatted to was aspiring author Rowan Aderyn.

Ms Aderyn used to be homeless and works as part of William's Homewards team in Newport, his initiative which aims to end homelessness in the UK.

At the party she handed the Prince a self-penned book about a boy called Jack who finds himself homeless, a gesture which deeply touched William.

He said: "This is great, so inspirational. I'll read this to Louis tonight at bedtime", as the author told him it was one of only ten copies.

Back in 2020 the Prince and Princess of Wales were away from their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on a visit to South Wales.

However their brood were never far from their mind, as they made a stop at an ice cream parlour where William spotted a child reading Julia Donaldson's Room On The Broom.

He commented: "I read this to our children all the time", jokingly admitting that the story had saved many bedtimes in the Wales household.

William even met the beloved children's author when he bestowed upon her a CBE for services to literature, telling her at the time: "Do you realise how many parents you have saved at bedtime?"

The Prince also praised another favourite, explaining: "David Walliams also does good books for children – for a little bit older children, I think. I've read one, and it was really, really good."

William and Princess Kate are currently based at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, with George, Charlotte and Louis attending the nearby Lambrook School.

George will be celebrating his eleventh birthday in July, and although Lambrook educates children up until the age of 13 there has been much speculation about where he will go to secondary school.
