Prince Louis Brings Joy To The Royal Family: A Closer Look

Prince William and Kate Middleton Can’t Keep Their Eyes Off Baby Louis

Like most new parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton are absolutely smitten with their newest addition, Prince Louis. "William is constantly getting up in the night to check on the baby. He just can't take his eyes off him," a royal insider told Closer. Baby Louis made his grand entrance into the world on April 23, and it’s clear that both William and Kate are head over heels for their little one.

Being a devoted dad doesn’t come without its challenges, though. The late-night cuddles and diaper changes have clearly taken a toll on Prince William, who was caught nodding off during a public ceremony at Westminster Abbey just a few days after Louis's birth! But hey, who can resist the irresistible charm of the youngest royal, who weighed in at 8 lbs., 7 oz. when Kate delivered him at 11:01 a.m.?

Queen Elizabeth’s Emotional Reaction to Meeting Her Newest Grandchild

“William and Kate have never been happier,” the insider shares. Even Queen Elizabeth, at 92 years old, couldn’t hide her excitement when she met her newest grandchild on April 26. "The queen doesn’t usually get emotional, but as soon as she held the baby, her eyes welled up with tears of happiness," the insider reveals. It seems that little Prince Louis is already winning hearts across the royal family. The baby is said to resemble his father’s side of the family, which has everyone talking about how much he looks like a “real Windsor.” No wonder the queen adores him so much!

Addressing Charlotte's Jealousy and Celebrating Her Birthday

One of the biggest concerns for William, 35, and Kate, 36, was whether Princess Charlotte might feel a bit overshadowed by the arrival of her new brother. "There are times she acts jealous and demands attention while Kate is nursing the baby," the insider shares. To address this, Kate planned an extra special birthday celebration for her daughter on May 2. "Kate bought her all her favorite toys, Disney costumes, and a new outdoor swing and slide," the insider adds. The plan seems to have worked wonders, as Charlotte has been treating the baby like a doll and giggling while William and Kate help her hold him.

George’s Protective Role as Big Brother

Prince George, too, is completely smitten with his new sibling. "He always wants to hold his hand and stroke his head, and he’s really gentle with him," the insider says. It’s already clear that George is going to be a protective older brother, ensuring that his little brother is always safe and loved.
