The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has released a new portrait of her youngest son, Prince Louis, to celebrate his sixth birthday. The photo, taken by Kate herself, shows Louis beaming at the camera as he lies on a picnic blanket. In the caption accompanying the post, the couple expressed their gratitude for the well wishes they received and credited Kate with taking the photo.
This new portrait comes just over a month after the Princess took responsibility for a photoshopped image of herself with Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George. The image, released in honor of Mother’s Day, sparked controversy after it was discovered to have been altered. Kate later apologized for the confusion caused by the manipulated photo and expressed her hope that everyone had a happy Mother’s Day.
The release of the photoshopped image led to speculation about Kate’s well-being, as she had recently undergone a laparoscopic hysterectomy. However, Kate addressed the public in a video late last month, revealing that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy as recommended by her doctors. She assured the public that she is feeling well and that her doctors believe she will make a full recovery.
