The touching detail from Prince Louis’ fun 5th birthday portrait with mom Kate that you might have missed

Kate Middleton with Prince Louis at Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Prince Louis' fun 5th birthday portrait with mom Kate Middleton features a touching detail that you might have missed.


Prince Louis' 5th birthday portrait has a touching detail that not many royal fans will realize.

The young royal celebrated his fifth birthday at the weekend and after stealing the limelight ahead of the King's coronation, the youngest of the Wales' family was all smiles in the garden with mom Kate.

But while Kate not taking the photo was a notable change with the latest photo reveal, you might not have realized that the photographer taking the sweet snap of them both wheelbarrow racing has a lovely link to the family.

Photographer Millie Pilkington was the photographer who captured Kate and Wills private wedding photographs that remain unseen to this day, some 11 years after they tied the knot.

The photo was uploaded to the Wales' official Instagram and captioned, "Someone’s turning 5 tomorrow… A very happy birthday to Prince Louis."

Millie was tagged as the photographer and on her official website it states, that she "specializes in children and families" and added, "Although the majority of her commissions, which range from fun and informal family portraits to the private wedding photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, aren’t in the public realm, her work has nonetheless appeared widely in the UK and international press."

The photograph she took of Prince Louis certainly had fans gushing over how adorable it is.

One fan wrote, "So adorable and with such a clever personality!!"

Another fan put, "Handsome little bachelor."

While a third fan added, "So handsome, 5 already. Kate you are a natural."

And royal fans will be able to see more of Prince Louis by watching King Charles' coronation on TV and features a special coronation concert.

In the snap Prince Louis is wearing a $93.25 (£75) Fairisle Seamist jumper by Lallie London. The jumper is made from 100% wool and is a smokey blue color with round neck . Contrasting fairisle knit pattern on the yoke.  These wonderful warm colors evoke the sights and scents we associate with the autumn whilst embodying the most quintessentially British design and material. Smart, soft and very warm. 

Proudly made from the finest British sheeps' wool and knitted in Scotland. 

Prince Louis wore his with a blue chequered shirt underneath and teamed it up with a pair of blue shorts.

Alternatively, there's a cheaper similar fairisle jumper available online if you shop around, like John Lewis which is selling this Kids' Fair Isle jumper in Grey for $17.41/£14, reduced from $24.87/£20, saving £6.

Prince Louis isn't the only royal to turn heads with his outfits, his mom Kate Middleton recently wore a pair of her favorite hoop earrings and also a Zara blazer and £20 Zara midi skirt for a royal appearance earlier this year and the items were flying off the shelves.
