Prince Louis may be Prince William and Kate's youngest child, but if the 2022 Platinum Jubilee is anything to go by, he appears to be the most sprightly.
The younger brother of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and the fourth in line to the throne, was born on April 23, 2018 in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, weighing 8lb 7oz.
He was christened as Louis Arthur Charles by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at the Chapel Royal, St James' Palace, among friends and family in July 2018.
In 2022, before Louis began his first year of school, the Prince and Princess of Wales moved their children to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor and all three of their children started at Lambrook School.
The move came after Louis delighted royal watchers with his antics during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. During one of the events, Louis was seen poking out his tongue to his mum – an image which spawned many memes.
Here are some of Prince Louis' sweetest moments so far.
