Prince Louis stepped out for his first royal engagement Monday.

The young prince, who recently celebrated his 5th birthday, took part in the Big Help Out -- an event held across the U.K. that encouraged people to mark King Charles III's coronation by volunteering in their communities -- assisting in the renovation of a hut for the 3rd Upton Scout Group.

Louis attended the volunteer event alongside his parents, Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, and his two older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
