It’s six today for birthday boy Louis, the prince of royal mischief – and a video reminder of the adorable moments that have made him such a favourite
- Louis was born in St Mary’s, Paddington on April 23 – St George’s Day – 2018
Times have been tough for the Wales family, with Catherine still undergoing cancer treatment and the monarchy on the rocks.
But there will be a much-needed celebration today when their youngest child, Prince Louis, is born.
Louis, brother of George, ten, and Charlotte, eight, turns six today.
Not that Charlotte will be eight for much longer; in just over a week there will be more cakes and candles when she celebrates her ninth birthday on May 2.
In just a few years, Louis has already delighted audiences, cheering us up with his sassy attitude and energetic, heartfelt reactions, while the rest of his family observe the decorum of the moment.
Here, then, are some of the magical moments that made us smile — and a reminder of why this particular birthday boy or girl is such a favorite.
