On the afternoon of April 23 (local time), the Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a photo of Prince Louis lying on the grass, smiling and looking at the camera.
“Happy 6th birthday, Prince Louis! Thank you for all your good wishes today,” the accompanying caption read. The post also noted that the person who took Louis’ photo was Princess Kate.

According to Page Sixthis is the first photo of William and Kate’s child since the Welsh couple was pushed to the “head of the wave, the wind” because of a Photoshopped Mother’s Day photo on March 10.
The new move from William and Kate received great attention from the online community, with nearly half a million Likes after 2 hours of posting. Besides the birthday wishes, fans also mentioned the noisy incident more than a month ago.
Netizens commented: “The royal reporters must be mad because they don’t have anything to scrutinize in the photo”, “Thank you, Princess Kate, for posting the photo on her own social network, instead of give it to the media that harassed our princess. We love the Welsh family”, “Love the calm and peaceful photography style of Princess Wales”, “So precious! Such a cute smile! Thank you for sharing the new photo with us, Princess”…
Despite the controversy, the photo of Kate and her three children was not deleted from the Welsh couple’s Instagram account, but was blurred, with a warning: “Photo/video edited”.
Although not directly revealed, the new update partly shows that Princess Kate is spending peaceful days with her young family.
Source of New York Post said Kate and William organized a private party for their youngest son. They wanted to make sure Louis’ special day was as normal and fun as possible.
“Given Kate’s health and knowing the type of person Kate is, she wants her son to have the best birthday possible, just like any mother would. She tries to make sure the day is as normal and fun as possible for that child, especially when he is young,” the palace insider revealed.

Meanwhile, Grant Harrold, former butler of King Charles, said that the birthday party took place more discreetly and quietly, most likely not inviting the children’s friends like in previous years.
“Kate’s health will be the priority, but she still wants Louis to have as much fun as possible. How that happened, they probably wanted to choose to keep a secret. However, as a family, we can ensure that they still celebrate their little boy’s birthday in some way and as normally as possible to make it a day to remember. They are a very private family as we know. I can imagine that on this occasion, it will be private time for family,” Mr. Harrold commented.
In 2019, Princess Kate revealed that she likes to bake cakes for her children on their birthdays, even staying up until midnight to do it. It’s unclear whether her current health will allow her to continue that tradition.
After suddenly announcing she had cancer on March 22, Princess Kate went into hiding. Since then, Kensington Palace has made no announcement about the health situation of the beauty born in 1982.
However, according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, Prince William’s continued public appearances signal that the royal family is returning to normalcy. The British public relations commentator believes that Princess Kate’s chemotherapy process is progressing well, at least nothing unusual is happening.
