England - Happy birthday, Prince Louis! The youngest son of Princess Kate (43) and Prince William (42) celebrates his seventh birthday today, Wednesday!

On this special day, his proud parents shared a cute snapshot of their offspring on Instagram .

In the picture, the prince can be seen in a garden. He sits casually on a tree trunk and looks into the camera with a grin.

The little royal's large gap in his teeth is particularly cute and immediately catches the eye.

With this photo, William and Kate are continuing a long-standing tradition. Every year on the special days of their three children, the couple publish a portrait of the respective birthday boy or girl, according to People.

As the young prince gets older, he now attends more and more royal events, most recently the annual church outing on Christmas Day .

Louis' birthday kicks off a series of celebrations for the royal family to enjoy over the coming weeks.

On Tuesday, the Princess and Prince of Wales celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary and shortly after, Princess Charlotte turns ten!
