With constant media attention, especially when his children are around, even the smallest comments about parenting can attract negative reactions on social media and in the press. This year, Prince Louis, the youngest son of Prince and Princess Catherine, attracted attention not only for his birthday but also for the photos shared during the celebration.

One photo, believed to have been taken by his mother at Kensington Palace, raised eyebrows because it appeared to have been released ahead of schedule. This difference has led to speculation about possible problems at Kensington Palace, especially after the ambulance crash on 28 December while the royal family was at Sandringham. The lack of official information about the situation has attracted considerable media attention, overshadowing the news about Harry and Meghan.

The British media has appeared reluctant to explore these developments further, despite serious questions surrounding them. The ongoing tensions between William and Catherine have also attracted media attention, as both have faced intense scrutiny over their parenting choices. While Catherine has often been the subject of criticism, William has had his moments, especially when he has shared even light-hearted thoughts about fatherhood.

Prince Louis is beloved by royal fans and, as the youngest, he enjoys certain freedoms that his older siblings do not. His playful antics, such as trying to quiet his mother at the Platinum Awards, show his mischievous nature. At the Trooping the Colour event, he expressed excitement at seeing the planes flying overhead, highlighting his youthful spirit.

However, this year, Louis has shown signs of maturity. He expressed concern for royal fans caught in the rain, showing a caring side. It seems he has been encouraged to be more well-behaved, perhaps to ease his jitters. Despite the challenges of being a public parent, William seems to be coping well. Despite the criticism he has faced, many admire the way he has handled fatherhood with George, Charlotte and Louis.
