During Prince William’s initial public appearance after the Easter break, he provided some fascinating insights into his youngest son’s burgeoning interest in sports. Arriving at Sunre Cricket Club, the Prince of Wales revealed that Prince Louis has developed a keen fascination with cricket. As the young prince gears up to celebrate his sixth birthday on April 23rd, 2022, it’s worth noting that photos released on his fourth birthday showcased his budding enthusiasm for the sport.
In these delightful images, captured by Catherine, Princess of Wales, young Louis is seen holding a cricket ball while frolicking on a beach, sporting a gray jumper adorned with stars. The snapshots depict Louis’ poised stance, indicating his readiness to engage in a game of cricket. Born on April 23rd, 2018, Prince Louis currently occupies the fourth position in the line of succession to the throne, following his older siblings and father, Prince William.
Traditionally, Princess Catherine shares a new photo of her children on their birthdays. However, given the recent challenges, including the Mother’s Day photo mishap in March and Catherine’s recent cancer diagnosis, it remains uncertain whether a birthday photo will be released this year.
With his children back in school post-Easter, Prince William has resumed his royal engagements. Today, his focus was on initiatives aimed at combating food waste and food poverty during a visit to a surplus food redistribution charity. Joining the charity’s kitchen crew, Prince William lent a hand in meal preparation. He also made a personal donation to the charity, contributing items such as pasta and tin soup. Run by volunteers, Surplus to Supper redistributes surplus food from larger organizations to local community groups within a 5-mile radius, producing 25,000 meals daily with the help of 200 volunteers.
A statement from Kensington Palace emphasized Prince William’s commitment to protecting the environment for future generations, highlighting how his engagements aimed to spotlight the organization’s community and environmental contributions. This engagement marked Prince William’s first public appearance since March 20th. He had taken a brief hiatus from his duties to support Catherine and their children over the Easter holidays. In March, Catherine announced her cancer diagnosis in a heartfelt video message, appealing for privacy.
Last week, apart from spending time with his family, Prince William and his eldest son, Prince George, attended an Aston Villa football match, marking their first public outing since Catherine’s cancer announcement.
