Prince Louis of Wales to Celebrate Fifth Birthday with Grand Gift
Prince Louis, the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is set to mark his fifth birthday on Sunday, April 23rd.
Born in 2018 at the prestigious Lindo wing of St Mary's Hospital, Prince Louis shares his birthplace with his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
A source close to the family has disclosed that Charles Spencer, a prominent figure in the royal circle, is preparing to present William's son with a lavish birthday gift.
Speculations suggest that the gift might include an apartment at the historic Orthope House.
In contrast, Meghan's son, Archie, who will turn four in May, seems unlikely to receive any gifts from the Spencers.
Charles Spencer resides at Orthope House, a magnificent estate situated on 14,000 acres of land in Northamptonshire, England.
This Grade 1 listed residence boasts 90 opulent rooms and is enveloped by 550 acres of picturesque surroundings.
Notably, the Northamptonshire estate also serves as the final resting place of Princess Diana, adding a poignant touch to the royal connections.
As part of the Spencer estate's legacy, provisions have been made to allocate a portion to Prince William's children.
Princess Diana, fondly remembered as the People's Princess, spent her formative years at Orthope House alongside her siblings, Lady Sarah and Lady Jane Spencer, and her younger brother, the current Earl of Spencer.
While Prince Louis has yet to embark on his royal tour debut, he has already achieved significant milestones that have captured the public's attention.
Prince Louis captivated hearts during the 2019 ceremony with his endearing waving gestures and delightful interactions, particularly with the then Duchess of Cornwall.
His first day at Wilcox Nursery coincided with his third birthday, commemorated by a charming photograph captured by his mother, Kate.
Louis further charmed spectators during the platinum jubilee celebrations last summer, showcasing his playful nature during the Trooping the Colour event and sharing sweet moments with family members, including his grandfather, Prince Charles.
Recently, Prince Louis made his debut at the Easter Sunday church service in Windsor, attired in a smart ensemble featuring a blazer, shirt, blue shorts, long socks, and a bicycle print tie.
With anticipation building for King Charles' upcoming coronation, observers are curious whether Prince Louis will maintain his signature shorts attire or transition to trousers for the grand occasion.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jenny Bond expressed her preference for the young prince to wear trousers, emphasizing the significance of a more formal attire befitting the occasion.
Bond shared her sentiment, stating, “I think it's time he wore trousers, especially at the coronation.
Anything else would look odd and far too informal.
I'd like to see him in a little suit at the age of five.
He'd look really cute in a little suit.”
