The royal family is getting ready to celebrate a very special day. Prince Louis, the youngest child of Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton, turns 2 years old on Thursday.
In preparation for the special day, a handful of new photos of the youngster -- taken by Middleton -- was shared on Kensington Royal's official Instagram page.
For the photos, Louis donned a blue and white checkered shirt while he engaged in a colorful -- and messy -- painting project. "Sharing a sneak peek of Prince Louis’s handiwork ahead of his second birthday!" the caption read. "We are pleased to share images ahead of Prince Louis’s second birthday tomorrow, taken by The Duchess this April." Louis' art project -- stamping rainbow-colored handprints on white.
