Just like his big brother!
Yesterday, the youngest Welsh member celebrated his sixth birthday, and especially for the occasion, Kensington Palace shared a new snapshot of Prince Louis. And what turns out now? Little Louis could look exactly like his big brother, Prince George!
Birthday prince
You can hardly have missed the fact that Prince Louis was allowed to blow out six candles yesterday! Before the special day, Glamial took a dive into the archives for some of the best photos of the lively thunderstone.
The Waleses themselves also did not let their youngest’s birthday pass unnoticed. For example, they shared a sweet photo of the prince on a rug in the garden of Adelaide Cottage, which was apparently recently personally taken by Princess Kate.
Brothers
After the photo appeared, royalty watchers were in complete agreement: little Louis is looking more and more like his older brother every year! From the Instagram comments to the society magazine Tatler, people can’t stop talking about the similarity between the princely brothers.
After some digging in the archives, we found these snaps of Prince George as he celebrated his sixth birthday in 2019.

And this is what the new snapshot of Prince Louis looked like that was shared by the Waleses yesterday:

Let’s face it: the family resemblance is unmistakable, nun?
Twinning
Of course, his mother regularly dresses Louis in outfits that his big brother has previously worn. Even as the brother of the future king, you cannot avoid hand-me-downs!
Of course it is very eco-friendly and so nice and normal for Princess Kate to dress her sons in second-hand outfits. But there could also be another reason: Kate is reportedly very aware of her own impact.
After all, everything the princess touches turns to gold. Sapphire engagement rings? Out of stock. Blue dress? Out of stock. High street earrings? Out of stock. And that also applies to her offspring’s wardrobe. After one photo of little Princess Charlotte in pink boots in the snow, searches for similar snow boots increased by as much as 97%, The Telegraph wrote at the time.
By wearing hand-me-downs or endlessly re-wearing previous outfits, the Princess of Wales would like to prevent her children from becoming trendsetters. Moreover, that is one less reason for photographers to do their best to take snapshots of the latest outfits of the little royals. Useful!
