Prince Louis’ new birthday portrait appears to bare a sweet nod to his big brother, Prince George.
Prince Louis’ birthday picture has sparked a major frenzy as royal fans spot a sweet nod to his brother, Prince George.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’s youngest son celebrated his sixth birthday yesterday, April 23.
Although many fans believed that they may miss out on a new photograph of the young royal, Kate and William released an adorable new picture of their cheeky youngster on their social media platforms on Wednesday.
The sweet image shows Louis beaming at the camera while lying on a blanket outdoors and, keeping in with recent tradition, was captured by his mum.
Although the day was all about the mischievous six-year-old, fans couldn’t help but notice a sweet nod to his big brother in the new picture.
After some speculation, it has now been confirmed by the Daily Mail that Louis’s checkered shirt is a hand-me-down from 10-year-old George.
Louis, who is currently third in line to the British throne, is wearing the Thomas Brown Camel Check Oliver Shirt.
George was spotted wearing the shirt in a sweet family photograph, taken in 2022, of the late Queen surrounded by some of her great-grandchildren and her two youngest grandchildren.
After confirming that Princess of Wales is keen on recycling her two sons’ clothes, many fans praised the mother-of-three’s decision.

Another fan commented: “Normal family tradition! Hand-me-downs.”
A third fan also wrote: “How lovely it would be if George had it handed down to him by William [red-heart emoji].”
Praising both Kate and William, another fan commented: “Way to go William and Catherine, I grew up in hand me downs.”
