Prince Louis is many things, including but not limited to: an icon, a legend, the moment, and one of only several royals who aren't incredibly problematic. But more than anything else, he's a child who knows how to take a good photo. And by that, I mean he sees a camera and immediately starts screaming into the void, which we can all appreciate. So naturally, the time has come to look back at Louis's life in picture, a chaotic and amazing journey that'll immediately make him your favorite royal. But first, some important biographical information:

AHEM! Prince Louis was born on April 23, 2018 and is the third of Prince William and Kate Middleton's children (his older siblings are Prince George and Prince Charlotte). Louis's full name is actually Prince Louis Arthur Charles of Wales, and every single one of those monikers is steeped in meaning. Louis is actually Prince George's middle name and was also the first name of Lord Mountbatten, Prince Charles's godfather. Meanwhile, Arthur is a popular name among the royals (see: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table) not to mention Prince Charles's middle name. And speaking of Charles, Louis's third name seems like a pretty clear reference to his grandfather, who happens to be King of England.

Anyway, thanks to the fact that he's fourth in line to the throne after Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis accompanies his parents and siblings (who he's now in school with, btw!) on a lot of royal engagements, leading to a lot of amazing photos. Incoming!
