Prince Louis beams in never-before-seen birthday snap as he turns 7
To mark Prince Louis' seventh birthday today, the Prince and Princess of Wales have shared an adorable new photo of him. The charming image, released on their social media accounts, captures Louis perched on a tree trunk, beaming with a gap where his two front teeth should be. Dressed casually in a checked shirt, dark green jumper, and blue jeans, the young prince is set against a backdrop of bluebells in a woodland setting. The accompanying caption reads: "Wishing Prince Louis a very Happy 7th Birthday!" complete with a birthday cake emoji. The photograph was snapped by Josh Shinner, a photographer who has previously captured the family, and was taken earlier this month in Norfolk. The Royal Family 's social media also celebrated the occasion, posting the picture with the message: "Happy Birthday to Prince Louis" adorned with a balloon and party emoji. This latest snapshot of Prince Louis arrives as he and his siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, wrap up their Easter holiday before they return to Lambrook School for the summer term tomorrow. Opting out of the traditional Royal Easter gathering at Windsor Castle, the Wales family chose to spend quality time at their Norfolk country home. On Easter Sunday, the family attended a service in Sandringham, accompanied by Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. They managed to avoid the crowds outside the church, enjoying the service and receiving hot cross buns upon departure. Prince Louis has largely been shielded from the public eye, with his most recent appearance being on Christmas Day during the Royal Family's festive walk to church at King Charles' Sandringham Estate, where he was seen receiving gifts from generous onlookers. Just a few weeks before Louis' last birthday, the Duchess of Cambridge publicly announced her cancer diagnosis, which has understandably resulted in few public outings for the young prince over the last year. Nevertheless, Louis did appear alongside the Wales family in a heartfelt video released by the Duchess to mark the end of her chemotherapy in September. He also attended the annual Christmas Carol Concert at Westminster Abbey in early December, arranged by his mother. Prince Louis seems to be developing more mature interests as well; Prince William disclosed last year that his son has taken a liking to cricket. He's also displayed enthusiasm for rugby, with Catherine, during an engagement at Twickenham, sharing a concern for Louis' fearless approach: "Louis is kamikaze, we're worrying about when he gets older, he'll be in the middle of everything." Demonstrating his burgeoning talent in photography, Louis captured a photo of his mother that was featured on World Cancer Day in February. Kate and William, as vigilant parents and passionate advocates for mental health, are undoubtedly determined to protect their children from the increasing dangers of social media. "Like any parents these days, William and Catherine have a challenge on their hands trying to monitor and control their children's access to social media at too early an age," said Jennie Bond, a former BBC Royal correspondent. "But they have made their welfare an absolute priority – and that very much includes allowing them to talk about their feelings and problems. George, Charlotte and Louis couldn't have parents who are more in touch with issues surrounding mental health." The youngest of William and Kate's brood is fourth in line to the throne and was born on St George's Day, April 23, 2018, at the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, tipping the scales at 8lb 7oz. His christening, as Louis Arthur Charles, took place when he was 11 weeks old, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at the Chapel Royal, St James' Palace, surrounded by friends and family.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have released incredible footage showing behind-the-scenes during Prince Louis ' seventh birthday photoshoot. Earlier today, a new picture of the young prince was shared on social media showing Louis sitting on a tree trunk, smiling and showing a gap for his two front teeth. It was accompanied by the message: 'Wishing Prince Louis a very Happy 7th Birthday!' followed by a cake emoji. The photo was taken earlier this month by Josh Shinner in Norfolk, where the Wales family spent Easter and now Prince William and Kate have given a glimpse into what happened as the photographer captured the cute images with Louis jumping off logs and flashing his gap-tooth smile. In the photo, the young prince is dressed in an open-necked checked shirt, dark green jumper and blue jeans, with the woodland backdrop showing a carpet of bluebells. The new picture and video of the youngster comes as he and his two older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte enjoy their last day of the Easter holidays before returning to Lambrook School tomorrow for the summer term. The Wales family skipped the traditional royal Easter gathering at Windsor Castle and instead spent family time together at their country home in Norfolk. However, they still went to church by attending an Easter Sunday service in Sandringham along with Kate's parents Carole and Michael Middleton. The family managed to evade the crowds outside the church to enjoy the service, where they were handed hot cross buns on their way out. Louis is largely growing up away from the public spotlight and the last time he was seen in public was on Christmas Day when the Royal Family made their traditional festive appearance on King Charles ' Sandringham Estate to walk to church. He was pictured collecting gifts from kind wellwishers. Last year, Louis' birthday came just weeks after his mum Kate had revealed her cancer diagnosis to the world. This has meant that public appearances for the young prince over the past 12 months have been limited. However, he did join the rest of the Wales family in the personal video released by his mum to announce the end of her chemotherapy treatment in September. He was also among the the congregation at Westminster Abbey in early December for Kate's annual Christmas Carol Concert.

Kate Middleton Pairs a Sleek Navy Coat With $100 Earrings for Six Nations Rugby Clash
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. On Saturday, March 15, Princess Kate attended the Six Nations Rugby game between England and Wales. The Princess of Wales reportedly missed a Middleton family milestone to attend the sporting event. Of course, as the patron of England's Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League, it was important for Kate Middleton to be in attendance. Meanwhile, Prince William cheered for the opposition as the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union. For the occasion, Princess Kate wore a fitted navy coat, featuring gold buttons, which appears to be an altered version of her favorite McQueen coat. The Princess of Wales has worn a bright red version of the bespoke coat on multiple occasions, including to her annual Christmas Carol Concert in December 2024. Underneath the coat, Kate wore a black turtleneck sweater. She also appeared to be wearing a brand new pair of Shyla "Rosalia Hoops Lapis" pearl earrings, which retail for less than $100. As noted by the Dress Like a Duchess Instagram account, Kate rewore her black suede heeled boots from Gianvito Rossi, which are very similar to the designer's "Glen" boots, but with a pointed toe. $1,850 at Nordstrom $2,095 at Nordstrom $1,995 at Nordstrom As reported by Hello! magazine, Princess Kate's niece, Grace Matthews—whose parents are Pippa Middleton and James Matthews—will be celebrating her 4th birthday on March 15. It's unclear whether Kate and William will celebrate Grace's birthday at a later date, or whether the Six Nations Rugby clash meant they could not attend her party. In an interview with OK! magazine, former BBC royal correspondent, Jennie Bond, discussed Kate's return to the spotlight in recent months. "It certainly seems to me that she has got her mojo back," Bond told the outlet. "Catherine is looking fantastic and looks as if she is enjoying every engagement." Bond continued, "We are seeing more of her than many of us expected so early in the year."
