Prince Louis, the youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, celebrated his sixth birthday on April 23rd. The birthday celebration comes just days before the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding anniversary on April 29th. Despite Kate’s recent cancer diagnosis, the couple is determined to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children.
According to sources, the couple is prioritizing their children’s happiness and well-being amid Kate’s health struggles. They plan to celebrate Louis’ birthday with his friends, as they have done in previous years. The insider shared that the couple wants to ensure that Kate’s diagnosis does not overshadow the children’s lives and their happiness.
In addition to Louis’ birthday, the Royal family recently commemorated the 98th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away in September 2022. The family observed the occasion privately, reflecting on the late Queen’s legacy.
Prince Louis is fourth in line to the throne, after his older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte. He was born at the exclusive Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London in 2018. His christening took place at the Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, when he was just 11 weeks old.
Amid the family celebrations, there is also a touch of sadness due to Kate’s cancer diagnosis. In March, the Princess of Wales shared in a heartfelt video message that she is undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The cancer was detected during follow-up tests after she underwent major abdominal surgery earlier in the year.
Despite the health challenges they face, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge remain committed to providing a stable and loving environment for their children. They are determined to keep family life as normal as possible and to celebrate milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries as a family.
