Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, released a portrait that she took of her son Prince Louis on April 23, 2024, in honor of his sixth birthday. In past years, she has released what we can refer to as his yearly "birthday portrait" the day before his actual birthday. No one was even sure she would share a birthday portrait of her youngest child this year because of the whole brouhaha that went down when she shared an altered photo of herself and her and Prince William's three kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Louis in honor of Mother's Day in England.
