Kate Middleton protected Prince Louis from falling into controversy corner

Kate Middleton decided to stay away from continuing a special tradition on child Prince Louis’ birthday.

On the eve of her children’s birthdays every year, she takes a photo of the kid to commemorate the day, serving as a handful reminder of how each of them has been growing up.

This photograph is then immediately shared on the internet.

But for the first time on little Louis’ birthday, dated April 22, the Princess of Wales didn’t release any of his images.

Instead, she uploaded one in the noon of April 23, thereby delaying the timing of the long-running custom.

A point of relief for followers however is that the shot was taken by Kate herself, once again showing her love for clicking pictures as a doting mother.

Louis was seen sprawled on his stomach with a rug underneath. His bare feet ran into grass as he smiled brightly for the camera.

Following the controversy of Mothers’ Day, observers scanned his pose thoroughly for marking any areas that give away editing, although none could be found, saving the day from another debate on the young one’s special occasion.

Prince William turned heads recently with his fresh “back to work” style, but it seems not every admirer was charmed by the royal makeover.

Just weeks ago, the Prince William was showered with acclaim when he emerged in a video extending kudos to Team GB for their endeavors at the Paris Olympics, sporting a beard.

However, as he joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for the Sunday service at Crathie Kirk on the Balmoral Estate this past weekend, the newly grown whiskers had been shaved off.

Spotted sharing a smile with his wife Kate Middleton while seated in the car, William’s alteration in appearance prompted an outpouring of reactions from followers.

A particular social media user quipped: “Catherine saw women on the internet swooning over her husband’s beard and decided to make him shave it off. RIP beard. It was fun while it lasted. P.S. Do not expect me to stop talking about his beard.”

Another chimed in: “No doubt somebody will set up a GoFundMe page for the sadly departed Royal Beard.”

Scores of fans declared they would “mourn” the loss of Prince William’s “rugged” vibes, with one declaring: “I’m officially entering a period of mourning for William’s beard. I only saw it once, but I’ll always remember it.”

Yet another said: ‘The sexy scruff has been cancelled, worldwide tears ensued…”

While a different user expressed: ‘Awe, bring back the beard, William!! He was looking fine – he’s still sexy, but I was digging his 5 o’clock shadow.”

William first showed off his short beard in 2008 and despite saying he would shave it off after Christmas Day, the facial hair stayed for several weeks.
