Happy Birthday to Prince Louis, who turns seven today.
To celebrate the occasion, the Prince and Princess of Wales released a sweet new portrait of their youngest son—and fans across the board seem to be saying the same thing.
Louis, the third child of Prince William and Princess Kate, is the younger brother to Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince George, eleven.
In the photo, Louis is pictured outdoors, perched atop what appears to be a tree stump in a woodland setting, smiling brightly for the camera. The portrait was taken by photographer Josh Shinner.
Royal watchers flooded social media with similar reactions, noting just how grown-up Louis looks in the image.
