The Platinum Jubilee celebrations are in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne, but it’s her great-grandson, Prince Louis, who has been stealing the show this weekend.

On Thursday, when Louis, 4, appeared alongside the queen and the rest of his family, viewers could not help but notice the silly and energetic reactions he had to the Trooping the Colour parade, including the epic scream he appeared to let out during an Air Force flyby.

Now, photos from Sunday’s concluding festivities at Buckingham Palace show Louis making some more silly expressions while his mom, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was seen handling it with her usual grace and relatable parenting.

During Sunday’s Platinum Pageant, which concludes the celebratory weekend, Louis stood on his seat while biting his lower lip.

In another photo from the ceremony, Louis covers his eyes with his hands while his mom speaks to him. Twitter has been taken with Louis’ very real reactions to the celebrations, and fans immediately called out his “vibes” at the pageant.

In the photos that show Louis with his more staid siblings, he appears to be yawning. In another pic, he holds a cushion up to his mom while a man in a neighboring seat looks amused by the shenanigans.

In perhaps the best pic from the event, Louis holds a hand up to his nose and sticks his tongue out at his mother, while Kate looks like she’s scolding him — a situation any parent can certainly sympathize with!

In another photo, Louis entertains himself by reading the pageant’s program, while his sister Charlotte smilingly watches the ceremony.

On a livestream of the Jubilee Pageant, Prince Louis appeared to leave the area shortly before returning and sitting on the lap of his grandfather, Prince Charles.  

Later, he moved to sit back between his mother and sister, where the funny faces continued as he danced along with the pageant performers. 

Shortly after the pageant ended, Prince Louis, his parents and his siblings appeared with Queen Elizabeth II in a surprise appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Last week I reported what happened when tenured University of Chicago Professor Dorian Abbot questioned his university’s Diversity/Equity/Inclusion (DEI) efforts in a series of YouTube videos and articles. The professor faced backlash immediately. Soon, a small group of leftist ideologues mounted a successful Twitter campaign against him resulting in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) canceling a distinguished science lecture Abbot had been invited to give simply because the woke mob disagreed with some of his political positions.

And what were Abbot’s “controversial” political positions that provoked the wrath of the Twitter mob? Abbot posited that university hiring and admissions should be based on merit not racial “equity.” Yes, you read that correctly. Abbot had the audacity to go against the leftist narrative that DEI are the most relevant considerations in hiring and admissions standards, you know, because of “systemic racism.” Of all the white privileged nerve or something.

That’s when MIT caved to the woke mob by canceling the prestigious Carlson lecture altogether “in order to avoid controversy.” That’s where we left the story last week, however, I’m happy to report that another prestigious school, Princeton University, has invited Abbot to speak.

I’m pleased to announce that Dorian Abbot’s lecture on extrasolar planets, meant to be the 2021 Carlson Lecture at MIT (until MIT disgraced itself by yielding to pressure to cancel it), will be given at Princeton on the date it was to be given at MIT: Oct. 21. Details to follow.

In addition, I’m happy to report that not only has Princeton stepped in when MIT was too cowardly to face the mob, but the embattled Geophysical Sciences professor’s audience has grown exponentially.

The lecture that MIT invited Dorian Abbot to give and then canceled, which Dr. Abbot is now giving at Princeton by Zoom on Oct. 21st, already has a subscription that has reached our Zoom limit. We’ve requested an expansion of the limit to accommodate more people. We’re delighted. https://t.co/SikZexoH8E

Thankfully, Princeton’s Professor Robert P. George was able to expand the Zoom limit to accommodate all the people—”literally thousands”— who now want to hear Abbot’s thoughts on “extrasolar planets” on the very same day he was supposed to speak at MIT.

I’m delighted to report that we’ve expanded the Zoom quota for Dr Dorian Abbot’s Princeton lecture–the one shockingly and shamefully canceled by MIT–and literally thousands of people have registered. It’s October 21st (the day it had been scheduled at MIT) at 4:30 Eastern time. https://t.co/sFOPTOxDOZ

Score another one for the Good Guys, but wait, that’s not all. Professor Abbot “has been recognized as a Hero of Intellectual Freedom by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA).” ACTA President Michael Poliakoff noted that:

In addition to his distinguished contributions to geophysical science, Dr. Abbot has rendered a service to the academy by challenging its reliance on criteria other than individual merit in student admissions and in faculty hiring. Like his work in natural science, his challenges to academic procedure call out for discussion, not a cowardly cancelation of an honor due to him for his scientific contributions. How sad that MIT, a world-famous place of science, cannot withstand a Twitter storm and live up to the ethic of science.

Professor Dorian Abbot’s lecture “Climate and the Potential for Life on Other Planets” will be hosted by Princeton University’s James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions directed by Robert P. George.  The lecture is free to the public via Zoom and you may register here.

As of publication time, Princeton has had to increase the Zoom participant limit yet again. This is how you stand up and silence the woke outrage mob. Well done, professor.

In her 2019 memoir, “Where the Light Enters,” Biden admitted she enjoys playing pranks. When her husband was vice president during the Obama administration, she once hid in an overhead bin on Air Force Two, frightening the first person who was unlucky enough to try to pack his luggage there.
