Princess of Wales Shares Never-Before-Seen Halloween Photo of Prince Louis

The Princess of Wales has shared a Halloween photo of her youngest son, Prince Louis, that the public has not seen before. The picture shows him at one year old, holding a large pumpkin in Norfolk.

The post went up on the official social media channels of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Its caption names the photographer: Louis, aged 1, photographed by The Princess of Wales. Catherine, Princess of Wales, is the former Kate Middleton, and she and Prince William are Louis's parents. Hello! reports that Louis wears a blue raincoat, dark blue denim jeans and red Wellington boots, the rubber boots many British families pull on for muddy walks.

Page Six describes the picture as one of the toddler picking out a pumpkin, and says the two royal parents shared it together. E! News calls the post a royal first.

Louis is now eight years old, according to People. The photo is from his toddler years, when he was one, and the post was published on 31 October 2026.

For many readers, the picture is a simple seasonal snapshot: a small boy, a big pumpkin, and bright red boots. It is also a reminder that the family's official accounts share personal pictures, and that the Princess of Wales takes some of them herself.
