New Photos of Prince Louis Released to Mark His 1st Birthday

Posted by admin

As hoped, new photos of Prince Louis were released today to mark his first birthday.

It’s hard to believe this was the scene a year ago tomorrow.

Prince Louis has *really* grown since we last saw him in the family’s Christmas card photo.

The Duchess took the new photos at the family’s Norfolk home.

You may remember that Prince George’s first birthday was marked by three photos taken at the Natural History Museum.

When Princess Charlotte turned one, we were treated to four pictures taken by Kate at the family’s home.

Here is a quick refresher on Prince Louis’s first year. We start with the first photo of the Prince following his birth, also taken by his mother.

In July of last year, Prince Louis Arthur Charles was officially christened. 

The official photos were lovely, especially this one of Kate.

In addition to the formal christening photographs….

…we were treated to an “extra” shot of Louis and his mother taken by the family’s private photographer.  

In November we saw new family photos that included young Louis, taken to commemorate the 70th birthday of his grandfather.

And then we saw the Prince in the Cambridge Christmas card. 

The new photos were a hot topic this evening, making the front page of most London papers.  It is just a delight to watch another Cambridge child growing up. I can only imagine what fun we’ll have watching him in the next year!

If interested in what Prince Louis wore in his new photos, pop over to our sister site, What Kate’s Kids Wore, where we have that information and a couple of pictures of George and Charlotte not included in this post.

    Well according to google celebrity facts Kate has green eyes and William has blue eyes. Both of Kate’s parents are listed as having brown eyes.

    That baby just radiates happiness! He is really precious! I see both his parents in his little face. It is so fun to watch children grow and see how genes express themselves.

    Such a adorable, happy and smiling little fellow! I love that Kate has been taking the photos of her kiddies’ milestones. It makes for a more natural and relaxed process and photos and as the children grow up these photos will be all the more precious to them.

    Awwww, my heart. What a precious little guy! Happy Birthday!

    Someone over at WKKW commented that Louis’ face is Kate from the eyes up and William from the nose down, which I think is the best assessment so far! Charlotte favors William (and the Queen) more than her brothers do. I do see the hint of Prince Andrew, too. Isn’t it funny how genes play together?

    Adorable! Kate is a good photographer and look at those 2 little teeth! 😁 I think of the 3 kids Louis favors Kate the most. Thanks for sharing the post!

    He is so adorable! I think he is the perfect combination of George and Charlotte. Does anyone see Andrew in him?

      A number of people said that on Facebook and on Twitter, you’re not alone in seeing a similarity. 🙂

    OMG the eyebrows! What an adorable child. Love that he has bits of grass all over him, that’s exactly how kids should be – outside, playing, having fun. He is clearly healthy and happy on it.

      It’s wonderful to see him encouraged to be a real kid and getting good and grubby. That jumper looks like it’s taken a bit of a bashing 🙂

    I see a bit of Great-Uncle Andrew in the close-up picture of Louis in the doggie sweater!! Love all the pictures. Louis’s eyebrows are very interesting.

    My goodness! It’s so plain to see! That boy is the ‘spit out of his Grandfather’s mouth’. He is the absolute image of his Grandfather, Michael Middleton? Is it only me who sees this?

      You are not the only one! I have been saying the same thing since Charles’ 70th birthday pictures. Especially the eyes and eyebrows.

    So cute! I’ll weigh in on the who looks like who game 😊 My opinion is that the boys favour their mum, with George having a particular Michael Middleton flavour. Charlotte is so much William, especially now. Louis resembles the photos of Kate as a kids to me. But I love hearing everyone’s thoughts! So fun to see how the genes combine and present.

      I find it hard to make comparison because each little person has their own identity, something Kate looks to have some small genius in bringing out. It’s confusing to look at them when small and find something familiar in their faces which seems to remind me of someone I can’t quite bring to mind. But if I was to make a guess I could be tempted (at risk of being sent to the Tower) and put the biggest cat among the comparison pigeons by saying he reminds me of none other than George Clooney! 😂 Something in the eyebrows, perhaps.

      Whatever, all three children are clearly going to be very good-looking and regular heartbreakers all round.

      Have I strayed far enough away from the blog topic of, er, fashion? In my defence, admin did ask for comparison lol. In the event I don’t get modded here, I can only say that all three wear their outfits very well. Louis’s colour picks of bright blue and maroon suit him a treat!

    Prince Louis is just adorable—and I like that the pictures were taken by his mama. I feel like that is much less stressful on a small child than a posed photoshoot with a stranger. I recall some of the photocalls when William was this age and both he and Diana seemed stressed and strained by them.

    He seems like a happy little boy and clearly he enjoys being outside and getting dirty. I hope we see pics for Charlotte’s birthday next week too!

    I think Charlotte and Louis definitely favor Kate side of the family. George does look more like William in my opinion.

    Do we know what color eyes Michael Middleton has? It looks like baby Louis has brown but both Kate and Williams eyes are blue aren’t they?

    So adorable. I wonder if Louis will get to go on tour with his parents anytime soon. Would love to see him out and about like we saw his older siblings.

      William has blue eyes kate has brown. Louis seems something like dark blue and it seems he has a brown line in it. We will see how he grows up what eye colour he ends up having’

        Kate has beautiful hazel green eyes. It appears that her sister Pippa has light brown eyes and her brother, blue. I think Charlotte is going to be the only one of Kate and William’s children with light eyes. Regardless, what cuties they all are! So nice to see them growing up so healthy and happy.

    I think all three Cambridge children favour Kate’s side of the family, with George resembling Michael Middleton

    I’m sorry, did you say that is Prince Louis? Because I see George. No, wait, I see William!

    What AMAZING family resemblance between the three!

    This is a bit of a surprising photo to me because in the last photo we saw of Louis in the Christmas card he looks quite different. But adorable all the same – to be sure!

    Gorgeous pictures and what a fabulous little chap, so bright and full of life! So very good of his parents to share them with us – I think Kate’s photography skills have improved with each new baby. She captures their personality in sympathetic composition.

    So cute. He does love to smile doesn’t he? I think he looks like his mother but babies change so quickly, he’ll probably look like someone else by next year.

    What an adorable child! I think William and Kate are doing a great job balancing public interest with a private life for their kids. Kate gets such great photos of the kids and it is lovely that she shares them with us.
