Supporting the NHS: These charming pictures show that – just like millions of other children across Britain – his parents are keeping him busy by painting rainbows to celebrate the NHS.

Gone are the little wisps of baby hair and chubby face we have been used to seeing. Instead he is now a proper cheeky little boy, full of life just like his brother, Prince George, six, and sister, Princess Charlotte, who will turn five next month

Prince Louis looked absolutely thrilled with his rainbow colored handprint to stick on the front window of the family home in Norfolk

Taken at Anmer Hall, their Norfolk home, this month by his doting mother Kate, they show that Louis is growing up fast.

Gone are the little wisps of baby hair and chubby face we have been used to seeing.

Instead he is now a proper cheeky little boy, full of life just like his brother, Prince George, six, and sister, Princess Charlotte, who will turn five next month.

And talking of George, don’t the two brothers look alike with the same heart-shaped faces, rosy cheeks and enchanting gap-toothed smiles?

The excited little face, those beguiling big brown eyes and those long brows are almost identical. As this childhood picture of his mother the Duchess of Cambridge shows, it’s not just her shock of dark hair that Prince Louis has inherited. Kate is pictured here aged three-and-a-half on a Middleton family holiday in the Lake District, in an image first released in 2011 ahead of her marriage to Prince William.

As we can see Louis, dressed in a blue checked shirt, also loves his arts and crafts – one of Kate’s favorite things to do with her children – and has no fear of getting his hands dirty.

He looks positively ecstatic to be getting so covered in paint as he makes a rainbow patterned handprint to stick up on the front window of the family home.

Pictures of rainbows started springing up in windows across the country after schools closed in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

They originated in Italy and quickly spread to the UK, where they are seen as a message of hope and something fun for children spot on their daily hour of exercise. Kate even carefully painted a rainbow on his hands to make a perfect print.

The NHS and its staff is something that William and Kate have put at the heart of their private and professional lives, and this week announced a new initiative to support key workers by providing a dedicated mental health support system, Our Frontline.

Their three children are also encouraged to take part in the ‘clap for carers’ every week, which will take place again tonight at 8pm.

According to friends, Louis is a happy boy who adores chasing his elder siblings.

‘They are just a really normal, happy rumbustious family,’ said one source.

‘Louis has inherited George’s scooter and it won’t be long before he’s out of the carrier on Catherine’s bike and catching up with his brother and sister. He can very much hold his own. ‘

With lockdown in place, Louis will have to be content having a party with George and Charlotte in Norfolk and seeing his grandparents, Charles and Camilla, and Michael and Carole Middleton, by video call.

Still, according to his father, Louis loves being on the phone – holding it right up to his little face.

But prince also revealed that the youngster has a naughty habit of cutting off family phone calls. ‘For some reason he sees the red button and he always wants to press the red button, ”William, 37, told the BBC.

A Kensington Palace spokesman said: of the new pictures last night: ‘The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share four new photographs ahead of Prince Louis’ second birthday tomorrow.

‘The photographs were taken earlier this month by The Duchess.’
