Posting on Instagram, the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote: “Thank you for all the birthday wishes for Prince Louis. 8 is great!”
The video features a series of heartwarming moments, set to music, showing Louis enjoying time outdoors. In the clips, he can be seen building a sandcastle, jumping off a boat into the sea wearing a wetsuit, playing cricket, and running along the beach. All the footage appears to come from the same seaside trip.
Fans quickly reacted online, leaving comments like “Such a lovely video. Happy Birthday Louis,” and “He’s so sweet. Hope he has an amazing day.” Others said it’s been special watching him grow up over the years, while many loved seeing these more relaxed, everyday moments from royal life.
Alongside the video, a new birthday portrait was also released. According to ITV Royal Editor Chris Ship, the image was taken during a recent family holiday in Cornwall by photographer Matt Porteous.
