The Prince and Princess of Wales marked Prince Louis’s eighth birthday with a new portrait and video, offering a rare glimpse into their family life. The portrait, taken during an Easter holiday in Cornwall, shows Louis grinning on a boat, wearing a blue Boden jumper. The video, shared on Kensington Palace’s social media, captures him playing in the sand, diving into the sea, and enjoying a game of cricket. Both were photographed by Matt Porteous, a trusted royal photographer. The portrait was captioned, 'Happy birthday, Louis! Eight today!', while the video thanked supporters for birthday wishes with the message, '8 is great!'. Royal experts noted Louis’s resemblance to Prince William at the same age, with both photos showing them on boats, grinning and squinting in the sun. Louis attends Lambrook School in Berkshire and was last seen in public at Easter Sunday service with his family.
