Kate Middleton and Prince William have broken their birthday tradition for their youngest son, Prince Louis, who turns 6 today, April 23.
Each year, Kate and William release a photo to commemorate the special day on the eve of their kids’ birthdays, particularly Louis’. However, this year, the future king and queen have strayed from tradition. They have not shared a new photo of Prince Louis on the eve of his birthday.
This decision reportedly comes in the wake of a Mother’s Day photo controversy. Kate Middleton apologized for her failed attempt at editing her Mother’s Day photograph, saying she was “experimenting with editing” like many “amateur photographers.” Kate Middleton often takes the photos herself, as a nod to her love for photography.
