On April 23, a cute photo taken by Princess Kate added a sweet smile to the celebration of Prince William and Kate's youngest son, Prince Louis, on his sixth birthday.
In this photo, Prince Louis is lying on a carpet on the grass, wearing a plaid shirt, looking at the camera with a smile. The heartwarming photo, released on Prince Louis' birthday, via the Welsh family's official social media accounts, marks a special moment for the royal family in the face of challenges.
Previously, a photo released on Mother's Day caused an editorial storm, so there are doubts about whether a new photo of Prince Louis will be released.
However, the decision to share this lovely portrait on Prince Louis' actual birthday marks a new practice that breaks with the previous tradition of posting photos to the press in advance. The change reflects the royal family's unique approach in the face of exceptional circumstances, especially given Kate's background of being undergoing cancer treatment.
Despite wanting to remain private during this period, William and Kate thanked the people who sent their wishes, sharing photos of Prince Louis' birthday via social media. This move expresses their gratitude for the support they have received during difficult times. It is expected that this practice of sharing birthday portraits directly on social media will set a precedent for Princess Charlotte's birthday celebration next Tuesday (May 2).
It is reported that Prince Louis has been staying out of the public eye, and his last public appearance was at Christmas, accompanying the royal family to a traditional church of the Nativity at King Charles' Sandringham estate. Since then, the royal family has remained resilient and graceful with Kate's health issues and has ensured that their children, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are fully understood and supported.
Prince Louis was a student at Lanbrook School in Berkshire, and he had returned to school after the Easter holidays. At school, he is likely to celebrate birthdays with his classmates, and after school, he may host a family reunion with his grandparents, Carroll and Michael Middleton.
Last year, Prince Louis experienced many memorable moments, including attending the King's coronation and ascending to the balcony of Buckingham Palace with other members of the royal family at the end of the parade.
In December last year, he joined his siblings at Kate's annual Westminster Christmas Carol Concert, showcasing the royal family's determination to keep tradition alive in the face of challenges. In addition, the young prince was involved in volunteer activities, reflecting William and Kate's values of love and service that they infused in their children.
Prince Louis was born on St. George's Day 2018 in Lindoyi, St. Mary's Hospital, London, and weighed 8 pounds and 7 ounces at birth. At the age of 11 weeks, he was baptized by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the chapel of St. James's Palace, and named Louis Arthur Charles.
As the fourth heir to the throne, Prince Louis continued to conquer the hearts of his family and the entire country with his charming charm and lively personality.
The celebration of Prince Louis' sixth birthday symbolizes the resilience, love and strength of the royal family in the face of adversity. William and Kate have shown unparalleled resilience and responsibility in tackling challenges, inspiring people.
