The King and Queen Celebrate Prince Louis’s Seventh Birthday
As Prince Louis turned seven, the royal family took to social media to share their warm wishes. The young prince, known for his playful spirit, was affectionately captured in a portrait released on his birthday.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’s youngest son was celebrated with a charming portrait showcasing his gap-toothed smile while playing on a tree trunk. This delightful image was taken by photographer Josh Shinner, as the family enjoyed their time in Norfolk during Easter.
King Charles and Queen Camilla extended their birthday greetings via Instagram Stories, writing, “Happy Birthday to Prince Louis!” along with festive emojis symbolizing balloons and party poppers.
Louis’s Place in the Royal Family
Prince Louis, fourth in line to the British throne, has captured many hearts with his mischievous antics. Whether waving to the crowd from the Buckingham Palace balcony or showing his innocent charm, he has become a beloved public figure.
Born on April 23, 2018—St George’s Day—at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London, Louis weighed in at a healthy 8lb 7oz. His full name, Louis Arthur Charles, honors his grandfather King Charles with Arthur as a shared middle name.
A Special Connection with Grandfather Charles
The bond between Charles and Louis is notably strong. During the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, the young prince was spotted comfortably seated on his grandfather’s lap.
A touching image from 2018, on Charles’s 70th birthday, highlights this closeness. The photo shows little Louis reaching for his grandfather’s face, bringing smiles and laughter to Charles, with another image capturing the tender moment shared between them.
Aside from Prince Louis, King Charles has a special connection with his other grandchildren, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet.
Recent Family Activities
Prince Louis, now attending Lambrook School in Berkshire, made his most recent public appearance during the royal family’s Christmas Day church walk in Sandringham, Norfolk.
Opting for family time over public Easter celebrations, the Prince and Princess of Wales chose a quiet Easter away from Windsor. They enjoyed the holiday in Norfolk before the children resumed their school routine.
