Princess Kate and Prince William surprised everyone by not posting a new photo of Prince Louis on his birthday. Royal fans who were excited to see a picture of the young prince on his sixth birthday were left disappointed. This was a big change from what they usually do on social media.

Despite the controversy surrounding their altered Mother's Day photo, many expected the royal couple to share a new picture of their youngest child on his special day.

However, to the surprise of many, the pair has not only refrained from posting a new photo online but has also not shared it with the media as they typically do under an embargo the day before.

The tradition of releasing a new photo of Louis on his birthday has been followed by the family every year since 2019. However, royal watchers are still waiting for the couple to publicly acknowledge Louis' sixth birthday today.

Last year, the couple shared an official portrait for Prince Louis' 5th birthday. The photo showed Kate pushing Louis in a wheelbarrow in Windsor. Kate, who enjoys photography as a hobby, had taken previous birthday pictures of Louis herself.

For his first and second birthdays, the couple shared photos taken at their home. The photo on his third birthday showed him riding his bike at Kensington Palace, while the one on his fourth year was taken at a beach in Norfolk.

Last month, Kate, who is 42 years old, surprised everyone by revealing that she was receiving cancer treatment and would be stepping back from her public responsibilities. Shortly after, King Charles lll shared that he too has been diagnosed with cancer.

William and Kate, who are the parents of Prince George, aged 10, and Princess Charlotte, aged 8, made sure to inform their children about the situation before making it public.

Editor's P/S:

The absence of a new photo of Prince Louis on his birthday has sparked curiosity and speculation among royal enthusiasts. While it is understandable that the royal family may wish to handle the situation surrounding King Charles III's cancer diagnosis with discretion, the departure from their usual practice of sharing a birthday portrait has left many wondering about the reasons behind it.

It is possible that the couple has decided to prioritize privacy and focus on family time during this challenging period. The fact that they chose not to share a photo with even the media suggests a desire to shield their young son from unnecessary public attention. Whatever their reasons, the decision reflects the evolving nature of the monarchy and the increasing importance placed on personal well-being within the royal family.
