The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have shared a new photo of
their youngest child, Prince Louis, ahead of his third birthday
tomorrow.
The photo was taken by the Duchess of Cambridge at Kensington
Palace on Wednesday shortly before the Prince headed off for his
first day of nursery school at Willcocks Nursery School.
Louis’s older sister, Princess Charlotte, also attended the
nursery school, which is located near the family’s London home at
Kensington Palace. Charlotte, 5, now attends Thomas’s School
alongside Prince George, 7.

The Duchess of Cambridge is a keen photographer and regularly
gets behind the lens to take the birthday images of her three
children. New photographs of Princess Charlotte are expected ahead
of her sixth birthday on 2 May, and with COVID-19 still rampant, it
is thought the Duchess will take the images of the Princess for her
special day, as well.
Prince Louis Arthur Charles was born on 23 April 2018 at the
Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital. He’s the youngest of the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge’s three children. Louis is fifth in the line
of succession and is the first British prince to not surpass an
older sister in the line of succession. Male-preference
primogeniture was replaced with absolute primogeniture with the
Perth Agreement.
The Royal Family has been in an official mourning period since
the death of The Queen’s husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, on 9 April
at the age of 99. The official mourning period comes to an end
tomorrow.
