Charles, who was born on 10 May, looked so sweet in the pictures as he crawled around a living room and also stopped to sit under a table in one shot. In another, the little boy was surrounded by gifts, although he looked more interested in the decorative ribbons on his presents.

The little boy was baptised at the Abbaye Saint-Maurice de Clervaux in September 2020 when he was four months old. Prince Guillaume's brother, Prince Louis, and Princess Stephanie's sister, Countess Gaëlle de Lannoy, were named godfather and godmother respectively.
