Prince Louis wore a suit passed down from his older brother, Prince George, for his sixth birthday portrait.
The Prince and Princess of Wales published an official portrait of their youngest son yesterday.
In the image, the six-year-old royal is seen lying on a picnic blanket in the grounds of the Windsor estate and smiling at the camera.
Louis was photographed wearing a pair of navy shorts and a blue and brown checkered shirt from children’s clothing brand Trotters.
The brand’s ‘Oliver’ shirt, which features an embroidered gray elephant, previously belonged to Prince George.
The Prince and Princess of Wales published this portrait of Prince Louis yesterday to mark his sixth birthday.
The royals used it for a portrait with the late queen and her grandchildren that was taken at Balmoral, Scotland.
In the portrait, George is seen standing behind a green leather sofa next to Princess Charlotte and wearing black pants.
The t-shirt, which was originally £50 but is currently half price on sale, is available in sizes two to 10 years.
What’s more, Trotters has proven to be one of the Princess of Wales’s favorite children’s clothing stores in recent years.
In June 2018, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were photographed wearing shoes from the brand to watch Prince William at a charity polo match.
Sophie Mirman, founder and chief executive of Trotters, told MailOnline at the time that they were “immensely proud” to see young royals wearing their designs.
The following year, Kate chose a £35 Trotters jumper with a puppy on the front for Prince Louis’ birthday, causing the item to sell out within hours.
A month later, the princess turned to Trotters again for Princess Charlotte’s birthday portrait, where the royal wore a £70 floral dress from the brand.
Prince George wore it for a portrait with the late Queen and her grandchildren that was taken at Balmoral, Scotland.
The brand’s ‘Oliver’ t-shirt, which was originally £50 but is currently half price on sale, is available in sizes two to 10 years.
Sophie Mirman and Richard Ross opened the doors to the first Trotters store on King’s Road in Chelsea in 1990 and have since opened six more, winning countless awards and numerous high-profile fans.

Sharing the image on Instagram and X, the royal couple wrote: ‘Happy 6th birthday Prince Louis! Thank you for all the kind wishes today.”
The princess’s latest photo suggests Kate is ready to put last month’s Photoshop row behind her as she focuses on her cancer treatment.
In March, royal fans were thrown into crisis after the Associated Press issued a “takedown notice” over a photograph of the Princess of Wales and her three children that had been published for Mother’s Day.
The Princess of Wales pictured holding a camera while taking part in a photography workshop with the ‘Action for Children’ charity in Kingston in June 2019.
This Mother’s Day portrait, which Kate later admitted to Photoshopping, was the first official photo released of the princess after she underwent abdominal surgery in January.
It was the first official photo released of Kate after she underwent abdominal surgery in January.
That night, the Associated Press became the first agency to “kill” the photo for an “inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.”
While the AP said there was no suggestion the photo was fake, it backtracked because it said that upon closer inspection the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet the agency’s photography standards.
The following day, the Princess of Wales admitted that she edited the Mother’s Day photo herself and apologized for “any confusion” it had caused.
A statement from the Princess of Wales read: “Like many amateur photographers, I experiment with editing from time to time.
‘I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion caused by the family photograph we shared yesterday. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C’
Two weeks later, the Princess of Wales announced she was battling cancer, amid growing pressure for the Palace to comment on her condition.
The Princess of Wales is believed to have announced her cancer diagnosis on March 22, as that was the day George, Charlotte and Louis left Lambrook School in Bracknell for their Easter holidays.
The announcement may have been timed so that your children wouldn’t have to immediately face questions on the playground after the news became public.
The family reportedly spent the Easter holidays together as they adjusted to Kate’s diagnosis, which was discovered in post-operative tests following her major abdominal surgery.
In the emotional message, which was filmed in Windsor, Kate revealed that the news came as a “huge shock” and that she and William “have been doing everything they can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
Earlier this month, Kate revealed in an emotional video message that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
The source also told PEOPLE that Kate and William are also prioritizing family time as “having fun together when they can is very important.”
Speaking on This Morning in 2020, Kate Middleton, 42, gave advice for anyone wanting to experiment with a camera as she launched her Hold Still campaign.
Speaking from a bench surrounded by daffodils and spring flowers, he said: “It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way appropriate to them, and to reassure them that I am going to be fine.”
‘As I have told you; I’m doing well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirit.
‘Having William by my side is also a great source of comfort and peace of mind. As has the love, support and kindness that many of you have shown. It means a lot to both of us.
Kate revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing a planned operation at The London Clinic in January.
She explained: “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time my condition was thought to be non-cancerous,” she said.
‘The surgery was a success. However, tests after the operation found that there was cancer.
“Therefore, my medical team recommended that I undergo preventive chemotherapy treatment and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
