April 23 is the 6th birthday of William and Kate's youngest son, Prince Louis.

According to the practice of the Welsh family in previous years, William and Kate would post photos of their little birthday stars on their social accounts to celebrate their children's birthdays, and many photos were taken by Kate herself.
Five years ago, when Louis celebrated his birthday, the photo was a decline.
On his first birthday in 2019, he was a big-eyed little cute baby.

On her 2nd birthday in 2020, Kate captured Louis's mischievous appearance with his hands full of paint.

The photo posted by Louis on his 3rd birthday in 2021 was taken by Kate on his first day of kindergarten.

In the birthday photo of her 4th birthday in 2022, the photographer is still Kate, and she took Louis running on the beach in Norfolk.

In last year's 5th birthday photo, Kate pushed Louis with a cart doing farm work, which had a very family atmosphere.

There is also a smiling face of Louis, and the little cute baby has obviously grown up.

This year, many royal fans are waiting for Louis's new birthday photos.
But half a day has passed on the morning of the 23rd, and their social media accounts have not moved, and the last post is still an official photo of William participating in the event four days ago.
Moreover, in previous years, they would send photos to the media in advance on the day before the child's birthday, but this year the media did not receive the photos.

Now people are in a hurry, because Kate is sick with cancer, and the situation of their family is already worrying.
They didn't post Louis's birthday photos, and it's hard not to suspect that William and Kate are now too busy to take care of themselves and don't have the energy to do everything.
Last month, someone close to the family revealed that although Kensington Palace posted a photograph of the P on Mother's Day, which caused controversy, William and Kate still planned to post a birthday photo of Louis.
In the same question, a royal aide replied that the Welsh couple "appreciated the public's love and affection for their children and knew that the public would love to see them on their birthdays".
Some people feel that the absence of a positive answer means that a decision has not yet been made.

While people were anxiously waiting, at around 12:15 noon on the 23rd, British time, William and Kate's social media accounts finally moved.
They posted a picture of Louis lying on the grass.

The caption reads: "Happy birthday, Prince Louis! Thank you for your kind wishes today. ”
Note that the photographer at the end, "Princess of Wales", was taken by Kate.

You must know that the previous "P picture turmoil" was caused by Kate's own P picture, and this time it was half a day late to put the photo, maybe there is a consideration in this regard?
In short, although the birthday photos are long overdue, this time netizens can be relieved, and they all wish Louis a happy birthday in the comment area.

Part of the reason people are looking forward to Luis's news is that they haven't seen him for a long time.
The last time he was seen in public was on Christmas Day last year, when he appeared at Sandringham's estate with members of the royal family, walking to church and holding the hands of his father and cousin.

In this way, he has not appeared for more than 4 months, and many British people miss him a lot.
Because Louis has been a "drama spirit" since he was a child, he often shows his boyish naughty side when participating in activities, and is also named a "walking emoji", which makes people always want to see how funny he will be next time.
For example, in 2019, Louis, who was just over one year old, appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the first time to participate in a royal military parade to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

The cute baby pouted and grimaced, which made netizens pay attention to this "little drama spirit".

The little expression is the same as that of Dad.

At the end of the event, he also waved to the crowd at the window with his sister.

When the pandemic broke out in 2020, there were fewer opportunities for Welsh Sambo to appear in public.
In December of that year, the family made their first post-pandemic public appearance, attending the National Lottery Company's pantolan pantomime performance at the Pallas Theatre in London, which focused on comforting health care workers and their families.
Louis flipped through the program list decently, not knowing whether he understood it or not.

In June 2022, at an event to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne, Louis once again made a hot search with a photo of "covering his mother's mouth", which resonated with countless parents, and was even nominated for "IMAGO Photo of the Year".
("Mom, please don't chant the scriptures.") ”）
He also contributed a large number of funny memes at an event.
("Wow~Oh~")
("Come on, fight")
（“Nonono，这样不行哦”）
("Happy,happy,happy~")
(Death Gaze)
("What did I see")
("Abbreviation")
Play and play, Louis still loves his mother.
("Hemp Stickers")
("I love numbness")
Since then, Louis has become famous and has become the king of royal memes.
This title was previously owned by his older brother George, and both of them are very good at stinky facial expressions.

Or in June 2022, Louis once again relied on emojis to get out of the circle at the military parade that year.
(One of Louis's famous memes)
He stood next to his grandmother, covered his ears and opened his mouth wide by the sound of the plane's huge engine, a photo that made netizens laugh. (Actually, the adults told him that this would protect his ears from the noise.)
("Pain, distortion, helplessness")
Of course, there are other memes.

(威尔士三宝对阳光的怨念:"My Eyes!")
("When do you get off work??")
("Can you go, bye!")
When it comes to Charles' coronation on May 6, 2023, Louis still insists on being himself and doesn't care about yawning figuratively.

Then he once again grabbed the view from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, this time again his mouth wide open by the noise of the plane's engine, but he didn't cover his ears.

By June 2023, Luis will be able to participate in the parade again, and Louis will be familiar with dealing with noise.

He also contributed another famous meme.

As he grew older, his brother George gradually learned to manage his expressions.

Sister Charlotte is also getting more and more aura.

It's up to Louis to be funny.

It's just that he's growing up,
Everyone will cherish his innocent appearance now......
