Prince Louis' antics during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations have sparked various speculations about the four-year-old either suffering from Autism or Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A few have also compared his actions with Damien Thorn, the devilish boy from The Omen, a 1976 horror-flick.
The weekend celebrations were organised to mark the monarch's 70-year reign.

Will and Grace Producer Creates Trailer Mocking the Prince
A parody trailer released by "Will & Grace" producer Gary Janetti compared the four-year-old to Damien Thorn, the devilish boy from The Omen. It was posted on Janetti's Instagram account.
Is it just me, but does Prince Louis remind you of that child in The Omen?

The trailer, which includes the narration from the original trailer by director Richard Donner, begins with an old footage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Anyone else think there’s something of a Damian from the Omen look about Prince Louis? Just saying ….

"For generations, the Thorns have been a family of tremendous wealth, position and power. The perfect marriage of Ambassador Robert Thorn and his wife Katherine was fulfilled by the birth of their son, Damien," the narrator says.

It also includes to 2018 clip of the royal couple showing off Louis on the steps of a London hospital, barely days after his birth. "But when the child was 5 years old, something terrible happened," says the narrator.

I think Prince Louis might be a reincarnation of Damien from The Omen. Fancy giving the poor kid a French name
The producer then went on to add the clips of Louis antics captured during the weekend long celebrations where he is seen shouting, making faces and throwing tantrums in the presence of the Queen and his mother.

The youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also sparked a lot of speculations on social media regarding his mental health. While there were several who wondered if the young prince was autistic, there were few who claimed he suffered from ADHD.
What we learned from the #PlatinumJubilee : Prince George is nearly as tall as her Great Gran The Queen. And Prince Louis is a royal terror. Yes, he's 4 but his siblings never acted like that. He pulled his cousins hair and literally tried to swat his Mother. I suspect ADHD. pic.twitter.com/u5etoRVZv3

"Prince Louis has got autism syndrome, am specialist in the area of the behaviour. Kate and William should get advice immediately," tweeted a user.
Jokes aside, am I the only one to wonder if Prince Louis is autistic? He looks exactly like a kid with severe sound sensitivities (misophonia) reacting to loud noise. https://t.co/WMGLoPW5ir

"I'm #ActuallyAutistic & I've thought for a long time (well before the Jubilee) that Prince Louis might be neurodiverse. He shows plenty of subtle traits which hint that he might be autistic and/or ADHD. For example, sucking his thumb at 4 can be stimming behaviour," read another tweet.
He might be an autistic! Prince Louis a beautiful child with strange behaviour. pic.twitter.com/J4EjR0LE7L

"Most people: "Haha! Look at Prince Louis showing-up the Queen and his parents!" Autistic People: "That was me as a kid. Definitely needed ear defenders. Why are you laughing? It's not funny when loud noises cause us pain and discomfort!" wrote a user.
Having an autistic child myself, who is now an adult and after seeing footage of Prince Louis this weekend, I would say he isn't a brat, he is on the spectrum, possibly asphergers/ADHD pic.twitter.com/NKn6mXXMKv
