Prince Louis Celebrates 7th Birthday with New Photo from Norfolk
A new photograph of Prince Louis, the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, has been released to celebrate his seventh birthday. The charming image, showing a smiling Louis with a gap in his front teeth, was taken in Norfolk earlier this April.
The birthday portrait was shared across the official social media accounts of Prince William and Catherine, along with a cheerful message: "Wishing Prince Louis a very Happy 7th Birthday!" followed by a birthday cake emoji.
Set against a woodland backdrop, Louis is seen dressed in a green jumper over a checkered shirt. The photo was captured by professional photographer Josh Shinner, who has worked with the royal family in the past, including taking their 2023 Christmas card portrait.
Prince Louis, born in April 2018, is now fourth in line to the British throne, following his father Prince William and his siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The family recently spent Easter at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, located on the Sandringham Estate. The relaxed setting of the photo highlights the more personal side of royal life, often shared with the public on key occasions such as birthdays.
In another royal development, Prince William is set to attend the funeral of Pope Francis this Saturday, representing King Charles at the Vatican.
This latest image and milestone not only mark Prince Louis's growth but also continue the tradition of the Royal Family offering glimpses into their lives during special moments.
