Prince Charles Shares Photo for Prince Louis's Second Birthday

Publish date: 2024-05-02

The birthday wishes are continuing to pour in for Prince Louis, who turns two years old today.

Prince Charles just chimed in with a warm message for his grandson and shared an endearing, black-and-white image of the two embracing in a sweet hug. "A very Happy Birthday to Prince Louis, who turns two today," he captioned a post, shared on his Clarence House Instagram account.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge began celebrating Louis's special day a bit early, posting a slew of cute photos highlighting the young prince to the Kensington Royal Instagram account yesterday.

"Sharing a sneak peek of Prince Louis’ handiwork ahead of his second birthday!" read the post, which featured Prince William and Duchess Kate's youngest beaming from ear to ear while showing off his rainbow paint-covered hands and his adorable painting.

Louis even had a coincidental twinning moment with Dad, who rocked a strikingly similar checkered-print button-down during a 2014 trip to Australia.

Louis's birthday photos were taken by Mom earlier this month at their Anmer Hall home on the Sandringham estate. The Cambridges and their children are currently quarantining at their country home, following government advice to stay inside amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
