The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released a new image of Prince Louis in anticipation of his 3rd birthday, April 22, 2021.

Willcocks Nursery is the same preschool Louis’ sister, Princess Charlotte, first attended in 2018.

Louis’ 3rd birthday comes two days after his great grandmother Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 95th birthday.

Last year for his 2nd birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared photos of their son making colorful handprint art with paint on his hands.
