Watch: Prince George and Prince Louis and big rugby fans
Prince Louis is the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's youngest child.
He was born on St George's Day, Aril 23, 2018 at the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, weighing 8lb 7oz, with Tower Bridge and the Golden Jubilee Bridge among London's landmarks illuminated to mark the occasion.
He was christened as Louis Arthur Charles by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at the Chapel Royal, St James' Palace, among friends and family, and is fifth in line to the throne.
Last month, he enjoyed his fourth birthday in Norfolk with his family, after spending his second and third in lockdown. Louis has attended Willcocks Nursery School near his Kensington Palace home for more than a year.
While the prince hasn't been in seen in public much, royal fans will still remember that sweet picture his mother Kate snapped of him on his first day of school, the pantomime he enjoyed with his siblings in December 2020, and his balcony debut at Trooping of the Colour 2019 when he was only a year old.
He is next due to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony with other members of the Royal Family, including his older sister Charlotte, seven, and older brother George, eight, at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Here are some of his sweetest moments so far.

Prince Louis was photographed by Kate – who regularly releases images of her children to mark important and special occasions – laughing and enjoying himself in the dunes of Norfolk before a game of cricket.
This sweet moment marked his fourth birthday, with the images taken earlier in April.
Following in his footsteps, his great grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh was an avid cricketer and fan of the game, serving twice as the president of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

BRUSSELS (AP) — The 30 NATO allies signed off on the accession protocols for Sweden and Finland on Tuesday, sending the membership bids of the two nations to the alliance capitals for legislative approvals — and possible political trouble in Turkey. The move further increases Russia's strategic isolation in the wake of its invasion of neighboring Ukraine in February and military struggles there since. “This is truly a historic moment for Finland, for Sweden and for NATO,” the head of the allianc
Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994 and accused in the West of human rights abuses, has allowed Russian troops to use his country's territory in invading Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the Belarusian leader's statement amounted to a "signal", with his actions to be watched carefully.
Perhaps beavers need holidays too, from all that dam maintenance — especially on Canada Day. Officials say a major washout on the Alaska Highway in B.C. over the holiday weekend was caused by a broken beaver dam that sent a torrent of water through the area, sweeping away a section of the highway in northern B.C. and causing major disruptions for travellers and truckers before a detour opened to traffic on Monday. "There was, you know, quite a bit of water there," said George Smith, a manager wi
Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for Windsor and Essex County for Monday and Tuesday. The weather authority warns temperatures will be near 31 C, with humidex values in the low forties on Tuesday. Overnight, lows are expected to be about 21 C, which will offer little relief. Environment Canada said the hot temperatures can cause deteriorating air quality. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has issued a heat warning based off of Environment Canada's information, warning residents to
Newfoundland and Labrador's snow crab fishers have hopes for another strong year, but some say the industry has become too dependent on the one species — leading to potential trouble down the road.

There is a growing number of animals looking to find new homes in Toronto as owners who bought pandemic pets at the height of COVID-19 return to work — or struggle with the rising cost of looking after them, city officials warn.
MONTREAL — Quebec Immigration Minister Jean Boulet on Monday welcomed Ottawa's decision to relocate about 100 asylum seekers who have crossed irregularly into the province — but he said that wasn't enough. The province says its ability to house and care for would-be refugees is being strained, as about 13,350 people have entered Canada irregularly between January and May, mostly through Roxham Road, a rural road leading from the United States into Quebec. Ottawa needs to relocate more people to

There's been another partial closure on Yukon highways Monday – the North Klondike Highway near Horse Creek Road is down to one lane traffic after flooded that part of the highway. Resident Darren Holcombe said he was passing through the area when he saw a few cars stopped. Then, he said he saw water flooding onto the road. "The water is pouring across the road, kind of eating away around the culvert where all the gravel is," he said. He spent about an hour there, watching to see what would happ
OTTAWA — The federal government says it has signed a $20-billion final settlement agreement to compensate First Nations children and families harmed by chronic underfunding of child welfare. The Assembly of First Nations and plaintiffs in two class-action lawsuits agreed to the deal, which also accounts for the government's narrow definition of Jordan's Principle. Indigenous Services Canada says the settlement is the largest in Canadian history. The $20 billion accounts for half of an overall $4

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Phan Thị Kim Phuc, the girl in the famous 1972 Vietnam napalm attack photo, on Monday escorted 236 refugees from Russia's war in Ukraine on a flight from Warsaw to Canada. Phuc’s iconic Associated Press photo in which she runs with her napalm-scalded body exposed, was etched on the private nongovernmental organization plane that is flying the refugees to the city of Regina, the capital of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

A delay in getting a report to city council is the latest disappointment following years of slow progress on the legalization of rooming houses throughout Toronto, housing advocates say. According to an update going to the Planning and Housing committee on Tuesday, a report on how to best regulate multi-tenant housing throughout Toronto won't come until early next year to give staff enough time to tackle the slew of questions, consultations and studies that city council requested in October. But
