Prince and Princess of Wales/ Instagram Prince Louis is now eight years old—and the royal family marked the moment with a fresh portrait showing the young prince looking all grown up. The Prince and Princess of Wales shared the annual birthday photo on Wednesday, with longtime photographer Matt Porteous capturing Louis grinning in a blue quarter-zip against a breezy beach backdrop in Cornwall. Notably, the young royal—once known for his missing front teeth—now appears a little more grown up, with his smile fully filled in. The post is part of a long-running tradition for Prince William, 43, and Kate Middleton, 44, who release new birthday portraits each year for all three of their children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Louis. The latest snap quickly racked up well-wishes from royal fans, but the family didn’t stop there. A follow-up post showed a playful montage of Louis in action—splashing into the ocean, sprinting along the sand, digging at the beach, and taking a swing with a bat. “Thank you for all the birthday wishes for Prince Louis,” the caption read. “8 is great!” View this post on Instagram Read it at People Read more at The Daily Beast.
