It’s hard to believe that Prince Louis, the youngest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, marks his fifth birthday on Sunday 23 April.
From the moment he stole the spotlight acting up at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last summer, to his first day at primary school beside his older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte, it feels like yesterday his royal parents welcomed him to the world on the steps of St Mary’s Lindo Wing back in 2018.
In adorable photos to mark his milestone day, the young Prince was pictured in a wheelbarrow, enjoying the outdoors with his mum Princess Kate. The images were taken by Millie Pilkington on the grounds of the family’s Windsor home last week.
Millie has a longstanding relationship with the Prince and Princess, having been the private photographer at their 2011 wedding and she is known for her stunning portraits of babies and children.
Ever the stylish royal tot, Prince Louis donned a smart £75 ‘Fairisle Wool Jumper’ from Lallie London, layered over a crisp white shirt with a delicate chequered print. Prince William’s mini-me also wore sweet blue chino shorts and black loafers, beaming as his mother pushed him in the wheelbarrow.
Princess Kate is also partial to a Fairisle jumper, having worn her £179 cream knitwear from Holland Cooper several times, particularly over the festive season.
You’ll have to wait if you’re hoping to purchase a Prince Louis-inspired Fairisle jumper for your own little prince, as Lallie London is currently only accepting pre-orders of the intelligent knitwear.
If you’re after a royal bargain, this £14 lookalike from John Lewis is woven from a cozy blend of materials including merino wool – a must-have for the colder months of the year.
William and Kate’s youngest child has been spending more time in the spotlight over the past year, joining the royal family for the Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel at Windsor earlier this month and waving to the crowds on Christmas Day as the party walked back from church to Sandringham House.
