Prince Louis, the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Kate and William, celebrated his birthday on Thursday, April 23.
The royal family commemorated the event with a royal tradition of sharing a new picture of the young prince.
The photo was taken earlier this month in Cornwall, England, by the award-winning royal and environmental photographer Matt Porteous.
Every year, the royal couple release a portrait of each of their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10 and Prince Louis.
This is their way of responding to well-wishers who send them congratulatory messages.
Professional photographers sometimes take the photos, but it is also reported that Kate Middleton sometimes also takes the yearly pictures.
