The Prince and Princess of Wales have traditionally shared new portraits of their children to mark their birthdays. Given that Kate Middleton is a keen photographer, she has taken the official photos for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis throughout their childhoods - and every year she shares beautiful pared back and relaxed portraits with the public.
Following the controversy surrounding the Wales' Mother's Day photo in March, it was unclear whether or not William and Kate would continue with their birthday tradition. In April, Prince Louis celebrated his 6th birthday, and according to royal experts the Prince and Princess of Wales were warned about what they should share to mark the occasion. However, the couple decided to uphold their family tradition by releasing a sweet new portrait of Louis, taken by Kate.
