Prince Charles shares adorable photo of him hugging Louis on tot's second birthday

Proud granddad Prince Charles has shared an adorable photo of him cuddling Louis to celebrate the royal tot's second birthday.

The heir to the throne posted the black and white snap on social media alongside a sweet message to his grandson.

It shows the Prince of Wales holding little Louis and smiling sweetly.

Charles is obviously a big fan of this photo, and he has it proudly on display at his Scottish home Birkhall.

It could be clearly seen in the background, framed and placed on top of a piano, as he officially opened the NHS Nightingale hospital in London last month.

It was among a large collection of photos on display, which also features snaps of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate, William and the rest of the Cambridge children.

Last night the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared five new photos of Louis to mark the special day.

Proud mum Kate snapped her youngest boy as she helped him play around with a palette of paints to create a rainbow tribute for our NHS heroes.

The little prince is beaming in a checked blue and white shirt, with his hair in a smart side parting and hands covered in paint.

His artwork resulted in a multi colored handprint which has been proudly on display by parents William and Kate in the window of their Norfolk home.

Kate released an extra photo this morning, a behind-the-scenes shot showing how messy things got during their photoshoot.

The family have been staying at Anmer Hall during the coronavirus outbreak with the Duke and Duchess taking part in a series of video calls to front line NHS workers and charities giving thanks and praise on behalf of the British public.

Daily Mirror royal photographer Ian Vogler praised Kate’s work behind the camera, saying: “Once again the Duchess has managed to catch her son at his cheekiest.

“The beauty of this picture is how natural and unposed it is.

“The trick to taking a good shot of a youngster is to have them busy doing something they enjoy while you snap the picture - this is really well composed and the use of natural daylight has really helped too.”
