The Prince and Princess of Wales's youngest child, Prince Louis, will celebrate his sixth birthday on Monday 23 April.
The young royal was born in 2018 at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, just like his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
While we're yet to see Louis make his royal tour debut, the Prince has passed some incredible milestones.
HELLO! takes a look at Louis' most public moments to date…
Trooping the Colour
Louis stole the show at the 2019 ceremony with his enthusiastic waving and his adorable moment with then-Duchess of Cornwall.

First words in public
William and Kate's children delighted royal fans when they took part in a Q&A with natural historian and broadcaster, Sir David Attenborough, in 2020.
It was the first time we heard little Louis, then two, speak for the first time in public. See what he had to say…
First day at nursery
Prince Louis' first day at Willcocks Nursery in Kensington coincided with his third birthday, and mum Kate snapped a photograph of her little boy on his red balance bike to mark his milestone.
The smiling prince looked ready for his big day in a collared shirt, a navy jumper, blue shorts and a coordinating backpack.
Platinum Jubilee celebrations
Louis truly was the star of the show with his cheeky antics during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations last summer.

First day at school
In September 2022, Louis joined George and Charlotte as they started at their new school, Lambrook, following their move to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor that summer.

Louis joined his parents and siblings for the first time at the Christmas Day church service in Sandringham in 2022.

Easter Sunday church service
The Prince made his debut at the Easter Sunday church service in Windsor in 2023.

King Charles' coronation
It was a historic day for the royal family on 6 May 2023, and Prince Louis was present in Westminster Abbey to witness his grandfather King Charles' coronation.
Charlotte supported her little brother by holding his hand as they arrived at the ceremony, while George had a starring role as one of his grandpa's Pages of Honour.
© GettyDue to his young age and the length of the service, which was two hours long, Louis left his seat midway through the ceremony, alongside his nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.
He then joined his parents and siblings for the carriage procession back to Buckingham Palace before the royals watched the fly-past from the balcony.
First official engagement
It was an action-packed day out for Louis as the Waleses volunteered with a Scout group in Slough as part of the Big Help Out following the King's coronation.
Alongside his big brother and sister, Louis was given the task of filling up a wheelbarrow with sand and sat on his father's lap as William took control of a digger.
