A new photograph of Prince Louis, taken by his mother Kate, has been released by Kensington Palace to mark the sixth birthday of the Princes of Wales’ third son. The court expressly wanted to reassure that this image had not been modified after the media uproar triggered by the one released on the occasion of Mother’s Day last month and then withdrawn in general shame for the evident manipulations that the princess herself had taken the responsability. An image that had also fueled the vicious circle of hypotheses surrounding Kate’s health, which only ended with the touching video in which the wife of the heir to the throne William announced that she had cancer and that she was undergoing chemotherapy.
Louis’ photograph was taken in Windsor in “the last few days”, a palace spokesperson said, according to which the Princes of Wales were grateful for the messages of good wishes sent to their son. With a request to ensure Catherine’s privacy while she undergoes cancer treatment, the palace said it was aware of the difficult balance of publishing a birthday photo of Louis but decided to do so anyway as a way to thank those who sent the their best wishes.
