Royal watchers are eagerly anticipating Prince Louis’ upcoming 6th birthday on April 23, wondering if Kate Middleton and Prince William will continue their tradition of sharing a new portrait of their youngest son. This comes after the recent controversy surrounding a Mother’s Day photo released by the Duchess of Cambridge.
According to a report by The Sunday Times, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are likely to uphold this tradition, as they understand the public’s love and affection for their children. However, sources close to the royal couple have revealed that there is no firm decision yet on whether Princess Kate will take the picture herself or hire a professional photographer.
Since the birth of their first child, Prince George, both Prince William and Princess Kate have released new photos for each of their children’s birthdays. The Duchess, known for her photography skills, often takes on the role of capturing these milestone moments.
The integrity of these royal portraits has recently been called into question, following the controversy surrounding the Mother’s Day photo released by Princess Kate. The Duchess admitted to occasionally experimenting with photo editing, leading to suspicions of manipulation by global photo agencies.
London-based public relations expert Mark Borkowski commented on the situation, stating that the recent photo controversies are damaging to the royal brand. He expressed concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding Kate’s health and criticized the decision-making process regarding the allegedly doctored photos.
As royal enthusiasts eagerly await Prince Louis’ birthday, all eyes are on whether Kate Middleton will stick to tradition or make a change in light of recent events. Stay tuned for updates on this story.
