Prince Louis celebrated his 8th birthday on Thursday. As the tradition goes, the Royal Family released a new picture of him. However, fans were left disappointed over this one detail.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/header>\n

Prince Louis turned 8 on April 23. The youngest son of Prince William and Kate MIddleton has become adored all across the country and world, not least because of his antics during royal outings when he was younger.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Louis has been branded the \u201cspare\u201d of the next generation of royals amid Prince Harry\u2019s book with the same name, and some are worried about his future.<\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cspare to the heir\u201d has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, not least because of Harry. Three years after leaving royal life, in January 2023, he released his book\u00a0Spare,<\/em>\u00a0in which he outlined for the whole world his belief that he would never be considered as important as his big brother, Prince William, who is set to ascend the throne after King Charles.<\/p>\n

However, it didn\u2019t stop there. Harry also wrote about Prince Louis and his older sister, Princess Charlotte, revealing that he was deeply concerned about their futures. The Duke wrote plainly that he fears they could end up like him, a \u201cspare.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Prince William and Kate Middleton are aware of the issues that could arise, and are giving their children as normal a childhood as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI imagine they will encourage Louis to explore life outside the royal fold\u2026 it could be the military, but it could also be working in the charity world or whatever he finds appealing after his education is finished. I\u2019m sure they will encourage him to go to University, which they both enjoyed and where, of course, they found love, \u201croyal expert Jennie Bond told the\u00a0Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n
