Princess Catherine Releases Unedited Birthday Photo of Prince Louis Amid Cancer Battle

A new photograph of Prince Louis taken by his mother has been released to mark his sixth birthday. Catherine, the Princess of Wales, is undergoing cancer treatment and the picture was shared as a way of thanks to well-wishers rather than released to media outlets in advance.

The unedited photo shows the young Prince Louis smiling, taken by the Princess of Wales in Windsor just a few days ago. Kensington Palace made it clear that this photo was not digitally altered, in contrast to recent controversies surrounding edited images.

The focus on privacy in light of Catherine’s cancer diagnosis was emphasized by the decision to release the photo directly on social media. This marks a departure from the usual protocol of sharing birthday images with the press under embargo.

Prince Louis, fourth in line to the throne, looked joyful in the picture, sparking warm birthday messages from well-wishers. The Prince and Princess of Wales expressed their gratitude for the kind thoughts received during this challenging time.

In recent weeks, the royal family has been navigating the health challenges faced by Catherine, including her announcement of the cancer diagnosis in March. Her husband, the Prince of Wales, has resumed public duties following the update on her health.

Prince William, engaging in charity work at Surplus to Supper, was seen cooking meals for a local distribution initiative. The royal family continues to maintain a sense of normalcy amidst the ongoing health concerns, with Prince Louis celebrating his sixth birthday with a heartfelt message from his mother.
