Prince Louis turns 4 years old today, April 23. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since Louis was born! I say this every time one of these kids has a birthday, but it’s still unbelievable to me.

To mark Louis’ birthday, Kensington Palace released 4 new photos of Louis, taken by The Duchess of Cambridge. The photos were taken earlier this month in Norfolk at the beach.

I don’t have much to say other than Kate’s photography has come a long way since her terrible Borneo photos back in 2012. I know people used to complain back in the day that Kate always took the kids’ birthday photos but I kind of think it’s sweet now. It’s a nice tradition that she takes their birthday photos.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Louis!
