It has become a tradition for William and Kate to share new photos of their children on social media to mark their birthdays. This year, there was speculation about whether the Duchess of Wales would break with this tradition and choose not to post a new birthday photo of Louis on Instagram. Normally, the couple shares official photos of the celebrant even a day before their birthday to allow for media reprint.

Internet users shared their longing for this tradition in the latest post on the "Prince and Princess of Wales" account, expressing disappointment that photos of the prince were always published on the eve of his "big day." Thankfully, for fans of the royal family, the tradition was upheld. William and Kate's profile was updated with a birthday portrait of the newly six-year-old Louis. In the photo, published on Tuesday, Louis can be seen smiling in a checked shirt, lounging on grass. As is customary, the photo was accompanied by birthday wishes.

Happy 6th birthday, Prince Louis. Thank you for all the wishes, the caption read.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams recently spoke to "The Sun" about Prince William and little George's attendance at a football match, emphasizing how the royals understand the public interprets each of their actions as significant. He also shared some updates on Kate Middleton's health, reassuring that the Duchess of Wales's treatment is progressing well.
