Royal fans are used to seeing Princess Kate take the sweet birthday portraits of her children each year, but she made a major switch to the tradition on Wednesday, April 23. For Prince Louis's seventh birthday, the Prince and Princess of Wales chose to use a professional photographer instead of a picture taken by Kate. In a first for the Royal Family, they also released a behind-the-scenes video of little Louis that showed off his playful personality—and the decision could mark a shift in how the couple shares moments of their children following Kate's 2024 photo editing incident.
Prince Louis, who was born on April 23, 2018, wears a green v-neck sweater over a checked white shirt and jeans in his birthday portrait as he sits on a log (and reveals his missing front teeth). The photo was taken by Josh Shinner, who previously snapped the family's 2023 black-and-white Christmas card photo.
