- Louis was born at St Mary’s, Paddington on April 23 – St George’s Day – 2018
These have been difficult times for the Welsh family, with Catherine still undergoing cancer treatment and the Monarchy on the brink.
But today there will be a burst of much-needed celebration when her youngest son, Prince Louis, is born.
Louis, brother of George, ten, and Charlotte, eight, turns six today.
It’s not like Charlotte is going to be eight for much longer; There will be more cake and candles in just over a week when, on May 2, she turns her ninth birthday.
In just a few years, Louis has already delighted audiences, lifting our spirits with his cheeky attitude and energetic, sincere reactions, while the rest of his family observes the decorum of the moment.
So these are some of the magical moments that have made us smile and a reminder of why this particular birthday boy is one of our favorites.
