Prince Louis becomes first of Prince William and Princess Kate’s children to carry out this special task….See More

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ son, Prince Louis, carried out a major royal first recently – much to the delight of fans.

While Princess Kate is renowned for her photography skills, Prince Louis, six, showed off his knack for photography in a sweet picture shared ahead of World Cancer Day.

The charming snapshot showed the mother-of-three posing outside on a wintry day with her arms outstretched. She could be seen rocking a smart forest green longline coat and a stylish baker boy cap.

Kate posted the image on her official Instagram account, alongside a second image taken by the Princess showing frosted fern branches at Windsor. She included a caption that read: “Don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease.” Concluding her message, Kate also signed off with a “C”.

In a nod to her son’s photography, the 43-year-old added a camera emoji, followed by the words “Prince Louis”.

Louis’ artistic skills went down a treat with royal fans. In the comments section of the post, one follower remarked: “I can’t believe that this photo was taken by Louis, that’s so sweet,” while a second added: “A beautiful image and message, looks like Louis has got his mother’s love for photography – a talented young boy!

Princess Kate is continuing to make a gradual return to royal duties after completing her cancer treatment last summer.
