The Princess of Wales had a Halloween surprise for royal fans on Saturday when she shared a never-before-seen photo of her youngest son, Prince Louis.
In the image taken by Catherine, one-year-old Louis looked happier than ever, facing a large pumpkin while wearing a beautiful blue raincoat in Norfolk.
The photograph was taken by the Princess of Wales in Norfolk
“Happy Halloween! (Pumpkin Emoji). Prince Louis, 1, photographed by the Princess of Wales,” were the words accompanying the image on the official social media channels of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

In the beautiful photograph, little Louis is also wearing dark blue denim jeans and letterbox red Wellington boots.
“Aww, he’s adorable,” one fan wrote alongside three blue love heart emojis. A second added: “So sweet! What a throwback for Halloween! Hope the kids enjoy the holiday as much as they can before heading back to school. Save some candy for yourself, Kate and William.”
While we can’t forget Louis’ Middleton family features in this sweet snap, some fans thought the little prince was the image of his older brother, Prince George in the photo.
“Adorable! Wow, it looks so much like George here!” they wrote.
William and Catherine take the family trick-or-treating
In 2022, Jay Rutland, husband of Tamara Ecclestone, who lives near William and Kate’s former London residence, Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, shared in January 2023: “Kate knocked on our door in London with their kids on Halloween. ‘Trick or Treat’. Very friendly and down to earth.”
He also shared a photo showing the trio in front of the large black doors of the Rutland-Ecclestone mansion. Prince Louis, then aged four, could be seen eagerly grabbing doors with both fists next to his sister, Charlotte, then seven, Prince George, then aged 11, stood behind his siblings next to Kate, who beamed from ear to ear.

Another customer, Kathy Whittaker, who spotted the princess at the King’s Lynn branch in 2019, said The mirror at the time: “She was with Charlotte and George looking at Halloween outfits, but her bodyguard was monitoring people with phones and not telling them about photos. I managed to take the photo while she was at the self-checkout.
“I didn’t see what she actually bought. The lady who told me she was there had kids with her and she said Kate was asking her kids what they were going to do for Halloween. I think she bought some Halloween stuff for her kids, but I don’t know what.”

According to Rachel Avery, editor-in-chief of HELLO!’s Homes: “Historically, Halloween has not been publicly celebrated by the royal family. Queen Victoria was said to want royals to ‘maintain utter class and sophistication’ at all times, which meant not dressing up.”
However, the rules have been relaxed slightly over the years. We know that Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, is a huge fan of Halloween.
