At the tender age of three months, Prince Louis Arthur Charles is already famous
It's quite a feat, since we've only seen him twice in public .
The first, memorable, was the day of his birth. As was the case with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the Cambridges posed for pictures outside the Lindo Wing with their new arrival.
Like his siblings, little Louis seemed completely disappointed by all the attention and slept throughout his first photocall.
Since then, he has been kept out of his eyes by his parents, his only other public release being his baptism last week.
Photographer Keen Kate also took adorable photos of her youngest child with her older sister Charlotte, whom Kensington Palace shared.
Then, of course, we finally had a glimpse of the young prince at his baptism.
The palace has also released a wonderful selection of official photos, but we may still have some time before seeing the young man again.
So let's take a look back on what we saw of Prince Louis until now.

We had to wait four days for her name to be announced – the longest wait for a royal baby name in years.
Then, on Friday, April 27, a statement released by Kensington Palace on Twitter said: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son Louis Arthur Charles."
"The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge."

The name is steeped in history, and it is believed that the child was named in memory of Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last British Viceroy of India [19659028] 2. The Duchess of Cambridge shares lovely pictures, May 5

The baptism of Prince Louis
3. Prince Louis's Baptism, July 9
While his brother and sister had lead roles in the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Louis was presumably kept at home.
He was also nowhere to be seen at Trooping the Color, so it is with anticipation that fans were eagerly awaiting the baptism of the young royal

As for Godparents, Nicholas van Cutsem, Guy Pelly, Hary Aubrey-Fletcher, Lady Laura Meade, Hannah Carter and Lucy Middleton all made the cup.
With the exception of Lucy Middleton, who is Kate's cousin, the others are close friends of the couple
Kate and William also published a beautiful collection of official photographs of their youngest to mark his baptism.
The official images were taken by the British photographer Matt Holyoak at Clarence House after the baptism
As usual, it is the Princess Charlotte who stole the show lovingly watching her younger brother while in him holding the hand.
George seemed more shy and reserved. It remains to be seen who Louis will take after more.
