In the images he is seen wearing woolen dungarees and a sweater, as well as tiny slippers. In one picture he is having a nap while resting his head on a teddy bear, while another sees him snoozing in his mother’s arms. He is awake in one picture, looking lovingly up at his mother. The pictures were taken at Fischbach Castle in central Luxembourg, where the family have been spending lockdown.
