Prince Louis turns seven: new photo on social media (and smiles without milk teeth)

Prince Louis turns 7: Kate Middleton and Prince William continued a real tradition, sharing on social media a new photo of their youngest son in honor of the birthday, Wednesday 23 April. The image, taken by the photographer Josh Shinner, shows a relaxed Louis sitting on a trunk in a flowery garden, wearing a painting shirt, jeans and a dark green sweater. The prince smiles and in the shot you can see the spaces of the milk teeth that lost. His parents wrote under the photo: « Best wishes to Prince Louis for his seventh birthday!

Shinner had already photographed the family in the past, whose most memorable shot is the black and white portrait they used for their 2023 Christmas greeting card. The prince and the princess of Wales publish a portrait of each of their three children every year – Prince George, 11 years old, Princess Charlotte, 9 years old, and Prince Louis – to wish them a happy birthday. Although in the past they were professional photographers to take these photos, Kate has often made the camera for the annual photos. In the last two years, Prince Louis has taken part in public events together with the royal family and, recently, took part in the event in church on Christmas day together with his parents and brothers. After Prince Louis’ birthday, Prince William and Princess Kate look forward to several important stages of their family life in the coming weeks. The couple will celebrate the 14th wedding anniversary on April 29, while Princess Charlotte’s tenth birthday will be May 2.
