On Wednesday, Kensington Palace shared a rare portrait of Prince Louis, the youngest child of Wales, as he turned seven.
The youngest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton has frequently caught the public's attention with his mischievous actions. The photo release was no exception, as fans filled the comments area.
Louis was pictured without his front teeth, indicating that the little prince is passing through several developmental stages.
One fan exclaimed, "Such a cute shot, Prince Louis [starry-eyed emoji]. "Happy Birthday [streamer emoji], May your life be filled with happiness and joy [birthday cake emoji]."
"Happy Birthday, Prince Louis." "It feels like only yesterday we welcomed our little Prince Louis," another said, while another wrote, "Happy birthday, so adorable."
The honor for the little prince also appears to be a significant departure from the pattern that Kate Middleton had established for her children.
The Palace also attributed photographer Josh Shinner with the portrait. In prior birthday tributes, the Princess of Wales was always the one to take the particular photograph.
However, it appears like Kate is still grieving from the photoshop scandal that erupted over last year's Mother's Day. While the mother of three modified a favorite ritual, it is known that she will preserve the ones she has always done.
Louis also appears to have a particular place in his mother's heart, according to royal writer Jennie Bond.
"You get away with a lot more and you are that little bit special as the lastborn," commented Bond. "Catherine probably lets Louis run wild more than she did with George."
