Kate has released the photos she took as her third and youngest child Louis celebrates his first birthday today.
Prince Louis Arthur Charles arrived at 11.01am, weighing 8lb 7oz, on April 23, 2018 – patriotic St George’s Day.
The stunning shots show the fifth in line to the throne playing in the garden of the family's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall.
ADORABLE SNAPS
In two photos, rosy-cheeked Louis smiles while wearing a red jumper, which is covered in greenery from the garden.
He proudly shows off his two bottom front teeth - and it looks like two more may be on their way soon.
Another adorable picture shows the tot looking more serious in a blue jumper with a dog motif.
Kate revealed in March that her youngest child is "active" and enjoys "bombing around" on a walker.
She told fans during a visit to a children's centre: "He just wants to pull himself up all the time. He's got these little walkers and is bombing around on them."
LOU KID ON THE BLOCK
Louis made his debut to the world when he was just a few hours old as proud parents Kate and William showed him off on the steps of the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington.
His name is already big brother George's middle name and pays tribute to the Prince of Wales's great-uncle, Earl Mountbatten, who was murdered by the IRA.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge then released photos of newborn Louis being cuddled by his sister Princess Charlotte on her third birthday.

And he was good as gold at his christening in July as he soundly slept in his mum's arms.
Kate, who studied history of art at university, is a keen photographer and has previously released her own snaps of her family.
She broke with royal tradition in 2015 when she took the first official portraits of her daughter Charlotte instead of hiring a snapper.
