Mother-to-be Meghan responded to the Palace’s statement which read: ‘The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share three new photographs of Prince Louis ahead of his first birthday tomorrow’
On Monday evening, the Palace shared three new pictures of Louis which, in keeping with family tradition, Kate took herself at Anmer Hall.
The Palace also released a statement which read: ‘The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share three new photographs of Prince Louis ahead of his first birthday tomorrow. The photographs were taken earlier this month by The Duchess at their home in Norfolk.’
In the adorable snaps, which were re-tweeted by the Duke of York, rosy-cheeked Louis looks inquisitively at the camera while wearing a blue jumper from high street brand Trotters – which has since sold out.
In the other two photographs, Prince Louis beams and gives his best cheeky expression for the camera and can even be seen reaching out towards it.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall also wished the young prince a happy birthday with a sweet Instagram post. The couple selected a photo of Louis playfully touching Charles during a family photo shoot to mark the Duke of Cornwall’s 70th birthday last year
In the other adorable new photos of Louis, the young prince is dressed in a red jumper which features tortoiseshell buttons across the left shoulder and a pair of black trousers.
The playful tot is covered in pieces of moss, having clearly had a wonderful time playing in the garden during the photoshoot with his mother.
His broad smiles show off his two bottom teeth – and it looks like two more may be on their way soon.
It’s believed the Cambridge family will spent the little prince’s birthday privately at Kensington Palace, since George is due back at school and Prince William is flying later in the day to New Zealand to represent the Queen in paying respects to those affected by the Christchurch mosque shootings.

Prince Louis Arthur Charles was born at 11.01am on April 23 last year – St George’s Day – weighing 8lb 7oz.
He made his public debut in his mother’s arms on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington.
He has been seen in public only once since then at his christening last summer.
Sources say he is a happy boy, doted on by his brother and sister. Princess Charlotte, in particular, is said to be overjoyed at having a ‘real life’ baby to look after.

In March, Kate revealed that Louis, then about 11 months old, was an active child who enjoyed ‘bombing around’ on a walker. Pictured, the Duke and Duchess with their three children
