Today marks the third birthday of Prince Louis of Cambridge. As always Duke and Duchess of Cambridge realised the official photo to mark his birthday. Prince Louis is the fifth in line for the throne and he is three today.
The Duchess is usually the one who takes pictures of the members of the Royal Family, and it’s not different this time.
Kate took a picture of a young Louis on the grounds of Kensington Palace on the first day of his nursery school. The youngest Prince is attending the same nursery as his sister Charlotte did.
We rarely see the glimpse of younger Royals, but here are some of the photos of the young Prince Louis since the first time he was introduced to the public.
The Day of Birth
Prince William and Kate welcomed their third child on April 23, 2018, at St Mary’s Hospital in London. A few hours later, the Duke and Duchess went out of the hospital to present the little prince
First Official Portrait
Just two weeks after his birth, the Duchess released two new photos of little Prince.
The first one was with his big sister Charlotte, giving him a kiss on the cheek. The photo was taken on Princess Charlotte’s 3rd birthday. The second photo was his first official portrait where William and Kate thanked the public for the kind messages.
Christening Day
Even though Prince’s Christening was marked with Princess Charlotte’s adorable ‘You’re not coming to the press, the baby Louise looked calmed and sweet in his official Christening photos. The Palace released few photos from the christening including the one with the whole family and a family portrait of the Cambridges.
Smiling baby
This was probably the first photo where we can see Prince Louse smiling and cuddling with his mother. This photo was also taken on his Christening day.

Prince Louis had his debut at Trooping of Colour in 2019. The one-year-old was waving and smiling during the annual parade. He was also clapping during the royal flypast. He enjoyed in his father’s arms, sucking his thumb while his parents smiled at him.
Polo Match
The Duchess of Cambridge brought the children to watch their father playing a polo match for charity. She was accompanied by the Duchess of Sussex and baby Archie. Louis was playing with his aunt and baby cousin wearing his mother’s sunglasses and sticking his tongue out.

In September 2024, the Cambridge family was visited by naturalist David Attenborough. Later the Cambridges shared the video where children asked David questions about nature. This was the first time we heard Louis speaking and it was so cute to hear him saying “amimal”.
Pantomime Performance
The Cambridge attended a special pantomime performance in London in December 2024. This was the first red carpet for the young Cambridges. Louise looked confused and shy while walking in the crowd. Different from his older siblings, the young prince was among the crowd for the first time. He really enjoyed watching the performance with his sister while sitting in his mother’s lap.
