As Prince Louis celebrates his sixth birthday on April 23, the royal family is gearing up to make his day extra special, especially amidst Kate Middleton's battle with cancer.
Prince William, joined by Prince George and Princess Charlotte, is reportedly planning a surprise to mark his younger brother's milestone. The siblings, aged 10 and eight respectively, are said to have something exciting in store for Louis.
The occasion brings a smile to Kate's face as she upholds a heartfelt tradition to celebrate her children's birthdays. Despite undergoing preventative chemotherapy, Kate stays up until midnight to bake them a cake, as she revealed during a BBC program in 2019.
"I love making the cake," she shared. "It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up 'til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it."
However, amidst the celebration, William and Kate are cautious about releasing a new portrait of their children following a recent photo manipulation scandal involving the Duchess and her children.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams noted the significance of William's recent public appearances, including his attendance at an Aston Villa football match and a visit to a food charity, as timely gestures to reassure the public about Kate's health journey.
The family's efforts to celebrate Louis's birthday amidst challenging circumstances highlight their commitment to creating cherished memories together.
