Britain’s Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, extended their gratitude for the outpouring of birthday wishes for their youngest son, Prince Louis, who turned six on Tuesday. Sharing a heartfelt message via their official social media channels, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also unveiled a delightful snapshot of the birthday boy, captured by Kate herself.
“Happy 6th Birthday, Prince Louis! We are deeply touched by all the warm wishes today,” conveyed the royal couple.
The charming photograph showcases a beaming Louis reclining on the grass, exuding joy and innocence.
This marks the first time Prince William and Kate Middleton have released a photo of any of their children since Kate bravely shared her recent cancer diagnosis. Following her announcement last month, which stunned the world, messages of support flooded in for both Kate and her family.
In the midst of this challenging time, the sight of young Prince Louis prompted an immediate flurry of birthday greetings from across social media platforms.
Louis holds the title of the youngest among William and Kate’s three children, with Prince George aged 10 and Princess Charlotte set to turn nine next month.
The revelation of Kate Middleton’s health battle came after a period of speculation, drawing widespread admiration for her courage while also sparking unfounded rumors and criticisms. Prior to the announcement, the royal family faced backlash over an edited photo of Middleton and her children for Mother’s Day, a move that only fueled further speculation.
Despite these challenges, Kensington Palace has maintained its tradition of sharing personal photographs taken by Kate to commemorate special family occasions, a gesture that resonates deeply with royal followers worldwide.
