Prince Louis sweetly displayed a gap-toothed grin as the Prince and Princess of Wales released a new portrait to mark his seventh birthday on Wednesday.
Just like his older siblings, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, nine, it’s another milestone Louis has passed as he loses his milk teeth.
Losing baby teeth is a milestone every child goes through, typically starting from age six up until 12 years.
It’s a moment that’s often documented by doting parents as their kids get their first visit from the tooth fairy.
Louis’ adorable birthday photo made us take a look back at snaps from the archives of royals with cute gap-toothed smiles.
Reminisce with these sweet royal pictures below…
