Prince Louis is 8 years old, today. It was taken while on holiday in Cornwall by Matt Porteous........a favorite photographer of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Louis never disappoints!

He's a cutie, for sure.

He's the cutest of the bunch!

Bet he's smart too- he already has the hang of making fun of press and the pomp and circumstance in his own way.

Happy birthday adorable boy!

Happy Birthday Prince Louis. The sweet Prince is seven days younger than my GS. We are having his 8th birthday party this Saturday. Those April birthdays can be hit and miss with spring weather for having a pool party, which is what he always wants.

The Prince is as handsome as his Daddy.

He did this to his Mom Princess Kate during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubliee who is sitting next to him.

And this when he was on the balcony during the fly over.

Mad at his Mum for telling him to stop his antics.

Now, that he is a few years older perhaps he is reigned in after a few spankings on his royal bottom.

I bet he as had a few scoldings from his big sister too. Princess Charlotte is going to be the brother's Princess Anne!!

I seriously doubt William and Kate use violence to discipline their children.

Modern parents shy away from corporal punishment which is found to have a negataive impact on children. When we know better we do better.

He is a real "sparkler" as they say. He reminds me of my own grandson. SO much fun.

Thanks for posting, @Somertime -- so cute!

He's come a long way--

He's already perfecting that mischievous little expression here...

His antics at the Jubilee were annoying but harmless. He was just too young to be there. Now some kids at that age can behave at events like that but he wasn't one of those kids.

Yeah I imagine he's a little spoiled as remember him making faces at and putting his hand over his mother's mouth when she was trying to talk to him at the Jubilee.

Princess Catherine released a video today of him and that scene of his putting his hand over her face is on it. As well as his copying Prince George in wiping his hair off his forehead. It is a really cute birthday video over the years.

@Nancy Drew But one has to ponder where he learned the nose thumbing and do it to his mother when clearly he was angry and inappropriately expressing that anger.

There were other pictures at the Jubilee of him sticking his tongue out at his mother too besides the nose thumbing.

What child at such a young age knows these things but does them anyway and to his dear mother?

A cute face of a child turned ugly in his undisciplined display for the world to see. I suppose if someone hated the monarchy they would be amused by it. I don't hate the monarchy and was not amused.

I have a feeling the other kids do it, but are just old enough to know not to do it in public. At any rate, I don't think it was a problem with his parents, so definitely not a problem with me. Just a little boy being a little boy.

I find nothing cute about him nor his misbehaving.

George would never have been so disrespective.

Re: Prince Louis Birthday Photo

KKJ — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:21:24 GMT

@occasionalrain You could be right about this I'm not sure. I suppose being the heir apparent after William that George was taught how to behave in public at a very young age and probably more strict about how he's supposed to act than Louis.

Re: Prince Louis Birthday Photo

occasionalrain — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:31:45 GMT

Charlotte never behaved like that.

Louis is always seeking attention, he's a show-off and making excuses for him won't make his behavior acceptable.

Charlotte is bossy. Thinks she's Queen.
