Kensington Palace released new images
last night to mark the second birthday of Prince Louis.

of Cambridge earlier this month at the family’s Norfolk home, Anmer
Hall.

Young Louis is seen happily playing
with watercolours in the images, and a picture of his hand-painted
rainbow artwork was released alongside his birthday images. The
rainbow artwork is in tribute to NHS workers across the country who
are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Prince’s rainbow handprint was
placed on the window of Anmer Hall to support the NHS workers.
Millions of other children across the UK have created rainbow
drawings and pictures, with the idea originating in Italy, to place
in the windows of their homes to show support for those in the
medical field.

The Duchess of Cambridge recently
revealed that the family was keeping in touch with their parents
and grandparents through video chats and that two-year-old Louis
loved to push the red ‘end’ button.
Prince Louis’s older sister, Princess
Charlotte will soon celebrate her birthday, as well. The Princess
will turn five on 2 May. His cousin, Archie (the son of the Duke
and Duchess of Sussex) will celebrate his first birthday just a few
days later on 6 May in Los Angeles, where the Sussexes currently
reside.
Prince Louis is the third and
youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and was born in
the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London in 2018.
