Prince Louis beams in snap showing missing front teeth to mark 7th birthday
The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, have shared a never-before-seen photo of their youngest child, Prince Louis, to mark his seventh birthday today
Prince Louis is capturing hearts again as the Prince William and Kate Middleton shared an adorable new photo to mark his seventh birthday. The charming image features Prince Louis sitting on a tree trunk, smiling proudly and showing off his missing front teeth, prompting warm wishes for the little Royal across social media platforms.
It was accompanied by the message: âWishing Prince Louis a very Happy 7th Birthday!â followed by a cake emoji. The photo was taken earlier this month by Josh Shinner in Norfolk, where the Wales family spent Easter. The young prince is dressed in an open-necked checked shirt, dark green jumper and blue jeans, with the woodland backdrop showing a carpet of bluebells.

The delightful birthday picture emerges as Louis and his siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte wrap up their Easter break before heading back to Lambrook School. Deciding to skip the classic Royal Easter gathering at Windsor, the Wales family opted for some quality time at their Norfolk retreat instead.
Though they missed the Windsor festivities, the royals were not absent from Easter celebrations, attending a Sunday service in Sandringham alongside Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. The family managed to keep a low profile, avoiding the usual crowds post-service where they were treated to hot cross buns.
The public last caught a glimpse of Louis on Christmas Day as the Royal Family made their traditional festive walk on King Charles' Sandringham Estate. Little Louis charmed onlookers as he gratefully collected gifts from the crowd, reports the Mirror.

Prince Louis, the youngest child of Kate and William, has had a quieter year in the public eye following his mother's brave battle with cancer. Last year, just after celebrating his birthday, the world learned of Kate's diagnosis, leading to fewer appearances for the little prince.
Despite this, he made a heartwarming appearance in a video released by Kate to mark the end of her chemotherapy in September. He also attended the festive Christmas Carol Concert at Westminster Abbey in December with his family.

Louis is showing signs of growing up, developing a keen interest in sports like cricket, which his dad revealed he 'loves', and rugbyâa sport that Kate joked about during a visit to Twickenham, saying "Louis is kamikaze, we're worrying about when he gets older, he'll be in the middle of everything."
Louis, who is known for his cheeky antics on the Palace balcony, is fourth in line to the throne. He was born on St Georgeâs Day, April 23, in 2018, at the private Lindo Wing of St Maryâs Hospital in Paddington, London, weighing 8lb 7oz.
