眾所周知劍橋公爵夫人對攝影的熱誠自 Prince George 後便開始培養,更在大流行下有增無減,甚至利用攝影的力量紀錄每個人的故事、家庭點滴和重要時刻。然而在劍橋公爵和公爵夫人的官方 Instagram 帳號上,都有不少凱特王妃的精彩攝影作品。而今次則是為小兒子 Prince Louis 慶祝4月23日3歲生日,跟隨家庭中的小傳統,凱特在生日前夕拍攝下Prince Louis 最幸福的瞬間。

照片是在4月21日在肯辛頓宮中拍攝,也就是 Prince Louis 第一天就讀Willcocks Nursery School 幼稚園的前一日留為紀念,而路易王子的姐姐Princess Charlotte 也曾在這一所學校上學;如今7歲的 Prince George 已經長大了便在與 Princess Charlotte 在私立 Thomas’s Battersea 小學上學。

不過今年路易小王子的3歲生日,對於全家來說是件苦樂參半的事情,畢竟在一個星期前,威廉王子的祖父菲臘親王在4月9日於溫莎城堡中與世長辭,並在4月17日於聖喬治教堂下葬。葬禮更因限聚規定而僅有30名王室成員出席,哈里王子在接受 Oprah Winfrey 採訪後首次與王室成員重聚,送祖父走完最後的一段路。

同時威廉王子也在愛丁堡公爵去世後的數日裏,發表感言悼念祖父也揭示了他與整個劍橋家族的親密關係:「我將永遠感激我的妻子有那麼多年的時間來認識我的祖父,感激他對她(凱特王妃)的善意。我永遠讓我的孩子們知道,曾祖父坐著馬車來接他們如此特殊的回憶,並非理所當然,而曾在世時看見他(菲臘親王)的肌膚感染力的冒險精神和幽默感。」
