Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed their third child on April 23, 2018 and royal pictures haven’t been the same! From the moment little Prince Louis made his (sleeping) debut on the steps of St. Mary’s Hospital with his parents, the tiniest Cambridge has been the star of the show. In just two years, the now King of Paint has blessed the world with a host of sweet smiles, little waves and meme-worthy reactions in the form of photos.
In honor of another year of life, and a brand new set of photographs, here is a look at Prince Louis most precious photo moments. *cue the awwws.*
Prince Louis made his grand debut on April 23, 2018. The annoucement of the little Prince’s birth came with a flood of well-wishes from royal family members and watchers alike.
Although Louis was the star of the big day, he decided it was only right to get a little shut eye during his introduction to the world.
Even with all of the action from this christening, Louis couldn’t help but catch some shut eye. Three months after his arrival, Louis had the same idea as when he posed for his first pictures...sleep.
Louis and William’s bond was on display as they played in the community garden curated by Kate Middleton. The tiny royal gazed at is dad as he swung on a tree swing.
This photo screams “ready for my close up.” During the same outing with his parents, Louis hilariously ran towards the camera for his solo moment in the spotlight.
Louis was all smiles (and cheeks) as he posed for the official portraits in honor of his first birthday. Louis beamed at the camera as he wore an adorbale red sweater and baby jeans. Look at all of that hair.
Finally, making his debut at the Trouping of the Colour celebration – in honor of his grandmother, the Queen’s birthday – the royal tot decided to opt out of the traditonal way and give the world an adorable face instead.
Okay, scratch that. Louis decided to join in on the applause after witnesses the fly over. Even his parents William and Kate couldn’t resist the adorable moment.
While peering out the window with his brother George and sister Charlotte, the little Prince adorably sucked his thumb. And honestly, he’s the cutest royal thumb sucker we’ve ever seen.
All eyes were on his father Prince William and his uncle Prince Harry during the royal charity match. But Louis had other plans. After adding to his look with his mom Kate’s sunglesses, Louis decided to show them off to his Aunt Meghan Markle and cousin Archie Harrison.
Louis was such a big boy in his official two-year-old birthday portraits. In the shots taken by his mom Kate Middleton, the adorable tot smiles as she shows off his smart blue top (which looks like something his dad would sport) and little fingers filled with paint.
In another photo from his birthday series, Louis is a spitting image of his big brother George. The tiny royal cracks a smile as he holds his messy fingers close to his face. Don’t touch your shirt...
Louis had a bunch of fun posing for his birthday shots. While the official pictures show him with paint on his hands, the bloopers reveal how things really went.
It’s no surprise, after his parents revealed how “hectic” things can be workiing quarantine with a two-year-old. “For some reason he sees the red button and always wants to press the red button,” his dad revealed.
