Prince Louis made headlines this week for a very unexpected and unusual reason.
The young prince, six, took a photograph of his mum Princess Kate, 42, to mark World Cancer Day, with the picture being used by multiple news publications after being posted on The Prince and Princess of Wales’ official social media channels.
As excited as people were to see the new shot of Kate, who was standing on a tree trunk in a Windsor forest with her arms outstretched, many were also delighted to see that Louis had himself taken the sweet photograph during a walk just last month.
The young prince’s photography skills sent fans into a frenzy, with many believing it was a sign he was following in Kate’s footsteps, with the future Queen known for being a budding photographer behind closed doors.
Speaking on The Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential podcast, royal expert Richard Eden praised Louis for the photograph as he said the prince has “good promise” when it comes to his potential new photography hobby.
When asked what he thought of the photograph, Eden said: “I thought it was very good, certainly showing great promise.
“The thing is with Catherine is we know she’s talked about the importance of the natural world in terms of recovery and making you feel better and that really comes across in this picture.”
While the photograph in itself was lovely, and a very different picture compared to the regal ones often associated with the Royal Family, it also held a very poignant meaning.
This is because it comes just weeks after Kate herself revealed that her cancer, which was diagnosed and treated last year, is now in remission.
It is believed the mum-of-three has found great comfort in nature throughout her cancer journey.
She accompanied the picture with the caption: “Don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease. C.”
