Kensington Palace has released a photo of Prince William and Kate Middleton's youngest son, Louis, to mark his eighth birthday.

The photo shows Prince Louis traveling on a boat. Judging by the fact that the palace didn't tag the photographer in the post, it was taken by Louis's mother, Kate Middleton, who often photographs her children on family trips. Followers of the post were once again amazed by how much the couple's youngest son resembles his mother, Kate Middleton.

As a reminder, the Welsh couple have three children together: 12-year-old George, 10-year-old Charlotte, and eight-year-old Louis. The couple maintains the British royal family's tradition, unlike Prince Harry and Meghan, and shares photos of their children on their birthdays almost every year. Kate Middleton herself often photographs members of the Windsor family. She is the author of the most recent portraits not only of the Welsh couple's heirs, but also of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

In 2024, Kate herself revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer. Prior to this, the Princess of Wales had been absent from public view for several months, sparking conspiracy theories online about her death and Kate and William's divorce. Kate Middleton underwent chemotherapy for six months, and in January 2025, she announced she was in remission.
