He’s not yet two-years-old, but Prince Charles of Luxembourg already knows how to work a crowd.
The young royal, who is 21-months-old. stole the show as he accompanied his parents, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, 40, and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie, 38, at an event organised by Scouting in Luxembourg.
The engagement, which celebrated Grand Duke Guillaume’s involvement with the Luxembourg’s Scouting association, took place on Tuesday at the Dräi Eechelen park to mark World Scout Day.
Dressed in a cute red puffer jacket and a scouting neckerchief, Charles was spotted meeting fans, enjoying a snack in his mother’s arms and walking about the park in adorable snaps shared on the Grand Ducale Court’s Instagram account.
Meanwhile, Guillaume and Stephanie did most of the legwork, signing the park’s guest book, chatting with royal fans and looking on as Scouting in Luxembourg planted a commemorative lime tree.

Guillaume’s grandfather, Grand Duke Jean, who passed away in April 2019, was particularity involved with scouting, having been a Scout Chef for 80 years.
He was very fond of lime trees, which is why this specific variety was picked for the event.
While he is too young to understand the symbolism behind the tree, Prince Charles seems to be having a great time during the event.
The tiny royal beamed as royal fans showed him pictures on their phone and smiled at him.

He seemed less interested by the book signing, however, he was well-behaved and was rewarded with a snack, which he enjoyed from the comfort of his doting mother’s arms.
Stephanie looked elegant in a navy coat, with a lovely wavy hairdo and natural makeup.
Meanwhile, Grand Duke Guillaume donned a blue shirt and his very own neckerchief.
While Charles seemed to be enjoying an afternoon of leisure, his father, who is also a member of Scouting in Luxembourg, addressed the attendees.

‘He said: ‘It is a strong and hopeful sign because the tree is the symbol of a life that needs to be protected and strengthened.’
A plaque was also unveilled that reads: ‘In honour of HRH Prince Charles of Luxembourg, born on the 10th of May 2020’.
In spite of the rain in Luxembourg, the event was attended by many Luxembourger, including the mayor of Luxembourg Mydie Polfer, as well as representative for two Luxembourger associations the National Federation of Scouts in Luxembourg and the Lëtzebuerger Guiden a Scouten.
The Hereditary Grand Duke has experienced a rocky start of the year after testing positive for the coronavirus.
While the father-of-one was symptom-free, he still isolated with his wife at son at the time.

Charles was born at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and has become a fixture of the Grand Ducal Court’s Instagram account.
At the time of his birth, the young Prince could not meet his grandparents Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa because of social distancing measure put in place to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Discussing the birth of his son back in May, Prince Guillaume said it was ‘probably the most incredible day that we will have in our life’.
He explained: ‘To be able to greet the child that comes into one’s life is the most magical thing, parenting, a couple can have.’
Photographs were then shared as the newborn met his grandparents the Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa over a video call.
In a statement, the Luxembourg royals said they were ‘delighted to announce the birth’ of their son.
