Prince and Princess of Wales release new photo of Prince Louis with heartfelt birthday statement

As the youngest son of Prince William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Louis has captured the hearts of the public with his charming smile and playful demeanour.

On his sixth birthday, the royal couple took to social media to express their gratitude for the outpouring of affection and well-wishes from people around the world.



The new photograph released to mark this special day shows a beaming Prince Louis, his joy evident in the close-up image that radiates his youthful spirit.

'Happy 6th Birthday, Prince Louis! Thank you for all the kind wishes today,' Kensington Palace shared, echoing the sentiments of the proud parents.

Prince Louis is the youngest sibling to Prince George, aged 10, and Princess Charlotte, who will soon celebrate her ninth birthday in May.

The photograph, credited to Kate herself, was taken in Windsor, where the family resides.

Kate, a keen amateur photographer, has become known for her personal touch in capturing these intimate family moments.

Over the years, Kensington Palace has released photos taken by the Princess to mark significant milestones and celebrations, creating a cherished tradition that offers a glimpse into the Royal Family's private life.



However, the release of these photographs has not been without its challenges.

Several news agencies retracted a picture shared on UK Mother's Day in March after it was discovered to have been edited, an oversight for which Kate later apologised.

This incident occurred amidst a challenging time for the family, as the Princess revealed she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy following major abdominal surgery in January, which indicated the presence of cancer.

Prince William has recently resumed his official duties after the announcement, and Kate's return to public engagements will be determined by her medical team's advice, ensuring her health remains the priority.



In a heartwarming development, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had honoured the Princess of Wales for her public service and support of the arts.

Kate has been appointed Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour, a prestigious and newly created appointment that marks her as the first Royal Family member to receive this distinction in the order's 107-year history.

The King's recommendation of this special honour for his 'beloved daughter-in-law' is a testament to the high regard in which she is held.



The appointment, in the gift of the Cabinet Office, is a significant show of support from the monarch, who is also undergoing treatment for cancer.

The Order of the Companions of Honour, limited to just 65 members at a time, was founded by King George V in 1917 to recognise individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the Arts, Sciences, Medicine, and Public Service.

Current members include luminaries such as Sir David Attenborough, Margaret Attwood, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Paul McCartney, and Sir Elton John, joining the ranks of historical figures like Professor Stephen Hawking and Sir Winston Churchill.

Kate's induction into this exclusive circle reflects her dedicated service to the Royal Family and her passionate involvement in the arts.

The photo of Prince Louis show's what a talented photographer Kate is. Since becoming a member of the Royal Family she has brightened up the staid formalities of the Regency. Her "down to earth" approach to whatever she does has endeared her as the new "People's Princess". The latest honour bestowed on her is well deserved. There are other members of the Royal Family who are also "quiet achiever's" that do great work behind the scenes. I hope Kate's health issues will soon be resolved.
 
Happy Birthday Prince Louis. We hope you have had a memorable day. Our very best wishes to get well soon go to his mother our new "People's Princess" too. xx
