JAKARTA - Prince Louis is back in the spotlight after Kensington Palace released a portrait of his 8th birthday. The youngest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton looked wide-eyed with a blue jumper.
Quoted from Daily Mail, Friday, April 24, Louis' latest photo was taken by photographer Matt Porteous while the Welsh family was on vacation at Easter in Cornwall. The post was accompanied by a message: "Happy birthday, Louis! Eight years today!"
What the netizens discussed was not only his birthday. Many fans of the kingdom considered Louis' face to be similar to Prince William when he was a child.
The comparison came from a photo of William at the age of eight in Mallorca, Spain, in 1990 with Princess Diana, King Charles, and Prince Harry. At that time, William seemed to be smiling on the royal ship Fortuna.
According to the Daily Mail, the resemblance between father and son is visible from the smile, brown hair that falls on the forehead, to the expression of the eyes when exposed to bright light.
Louis Arthur Charles was born on April 23, 2018 at St Mary's Hospital, London. Since childhood, he has often attracted public attention due to his spontaneous expression at official royal events.
The resemblance between Louis and William is not the first to be discussed. Last year, Louis' birthday portrait was also compared to a photo of a young William watching a polo match in Windsor in 1990.
For fans of the British royal family, Prince Louis is now not just a cute and adorable little boy on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. He is also starting to be seen as a mirror of his father's childhood.
