Prince Louis Looks So Grown Up with Notable Appearance Change in 7th Birthday Portrait
The baby of the Wales family is 7 years old (and doesn't look like a baby anymore)!
Prince Louis turned another year older on April 23, and the rambunctious, hilarious youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton was honored in a tribute from his parents on social media, including a new portrait of the youngster with a notable change in appearance—he is missing his two front teeth!
"Wishing Prince Louis a very Happy 7th Birthday!" the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote alongside the photo of their youngest son, including a birthday cake emoji for good measure. In the photo, in addition to his toothless grin, Louis smiles in jeans, a collared shirt, and a sweater, as he sits in an outdoor setting.
Though Kate has often taken her children's birthday portraits in the past, this photo of Louis was taken by photographer Josh Shinner in a departure from tradition. Shinner has previously photographed the Wales family of five, notably taking their black-and-white Christmas card photo in 2023.
Though this isn't the first time a photographer other than Kate has taken the annual birthday photo of her kids, it's a rare occasion, and Kate actually might not be the only photographer in the family.
On February 3, the Princess of Wales shared a post on social media ahead of World Cancer Day, seeing the future queen standing outdoors, arms spread out—in a photo taken by none other than Louis. People shared that Louis took the photo of his mother in Windsor earlier in 2025. Kate was diagnosed with cancer in early 2024, but announced this past January that she is in remission from the disease, four months after she announced in September that her cancer treatment had ended.
As for Louis, the younger brother of Prince George and Princess Charlotte likely received gifts today—just as he did on Christmas Day from surely his family, but also the many well-wishers assembled to greet members of the royal family as they walked to church at St. Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham Estate grounds. Louis 'looked visibly excited' by the haul of gifts he received, including Christmas crackers, a box of Cadbury chocolates, bouquets of flowers, and an assortment of stuffed toys, The Daily Mail reported. When offered a Father Christmas headband, Louis happily accepted the gift and 'politely thanked the person who gifted it and returned to his father and siblings,' according to the outlet.
The Daily Mail reported that Louis' hands were so full of presents that he 'appeared to struggle to keep hold of everything he received' and at one point turned to William and sweetly asked, 'Papa, can you carry some?'
That wasn't his only sweet interaction on Christmas Day—elsewhere in the festivities, Newsweek reported that Louis told his mother Kate, 'We're looking out for each other.'
On January 23 of this year, Louis was top of mind for William as he visited a school and was given three envelopes—one for George, one for Charlotte, and one for Louis. Per Hello!, each envelope contained a £10 note and details of a 'Smile Challenge,' where 'the aim was to use the money to make someone smile without handing them the cash,' according to the outlet.
'This one will be a good one for Louis—he needs a challenge,' William cheekily said in response to learning about the challenge.

Olympic swimmer engulfed in ‘inappropriate' behaviour accusations makes fiery statement
Luana Alonso will no longer stay silent. The Paraguayan swimmer who reportedly was booted out of the Olympic Village during last year's Summer Games has fired back at 'false rumours' surrounding her departure from Paris. Alonso posted a fiery statement on her Instagram stories this week, hitting out at the reports that she was removed for creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere.' 'Let me make this clear: I left the Olympic Village on my own,' she wrote on Wednesday. 'These are false rumours that have hurt my name and my career.' Alonso ignited a firestorm at the Games last summer, going viral for alleged behaviour behind the scenes at the village. The 21-year-old swimmer competed for Paraguay in the women's 100-metre butterfly, but failed to reach the semifinals – and then seemingly announced her abrupt retirement from the sport in a post on Instagram. But instead of heading home, Alonso stayed in the French capital to see the sights – which were well-documented on her social media account – before reportedly got her booted by her country's Olympic committee for creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere.' 'Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,' Larissa Schaerer, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee (COP), said in a statement at the time. But, 11 months later, Alonso is now firing back at the accusations. 'The Paraguayan Olympic team claimed I created an 'inappropriate environment' simply because I decided I didn't want to swim anymore,' she said. 'They tried to take my accreditation away, but that's not something they had the right to do. I chose not to hand it over and apparently that was 'inappropriate' to them.' The Daily Mail also reported that Alonso was accused of being a distraction to her fellow competitors with her socializing and attire. She was often seen sporting stylish outfits as opposed to team uniforms and opted to take a trip to Disneyland Paris instead of cheering on her compatriots. 'I was judged for wearing skinny clothes, for socializing, and for not conforming,' she added. 'That's not inappropriate — that's being a young adult. 'I had finished racing. I was no longer obligated to stay. If others saw that as disrespectful, that's on them.' Alonso reportedly checked into a Parisian hotel after leaving the Olympic Village, and visited high-end stores and restaurants. But despite the contentious nature between herself and her country's Olympic committee, the Southern Methodist University alum claims she was asked by Paraguayan swimming officials to return to the pool for the Pan American Junior Games, which are being held in the country's capital, Asunción, this August. 'If I had been treated like a human being, maybe I would have stayed,' she said. 'But they made me feel like a problem.' Olympian kicked out of village for 'inappropriate behaviour' teases return to pool Ex-Playboy model reveals 'painful' divorce from Olympic star Ryan Lochte It's not only the COP that Alonso has in her crosshairs, either. The two-time Olympian also threatened legal action against media outlets that are spreading the 'false rumours' about her. 'I'm seriously considering legal action against the magazines and media outlets spreading false rumours like that I was expelled from the Olympic Village. Really? Who came up with that nonsense? Well that it's not true,' she wrote. She also teased that she would be releasing a video to better explain her thinking. 'Seriously (these) lies are wild and affecting my life and that's why I decided I'm keeping my life lowkey,' she said.
