The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have marked Prince Louis' second birthday with new photos of him doing some rainbow-colored hand-painting to pay tribute to the NHS.
In the snaps, which were captured by his mother at their home in Norfolk earlier this month, the toddler can be seen smiling as he playfully holds his hands up to the camera. Rainbows have become a symbol for the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic, with children all across the UK putting up colorful drawings and paintings in their windows to show solidarity.
Louis, who is the youngest of Kate and William's three children, turns two today and is reportedly celebrating at home.

Prince George, six, and Princess Charlotte, four, are currently being homeschooled by their parents, with the couple admitting that lessons with continuing despite the Easter break, per the BBC.
During a video interview with the publication, the duchess revealed that the family had experienced "ups and downs" like any other family, adding "Don’t tell the children, we’ve actually kept it going through the holidays. I feel very mean. It’s just having that bit of structure, actually. It’s great, there are so many great tips online and fun activities that you can do with the children so it hasn’t been all hardcore.''
She also revealed that she was pleasantly surprised about how aware the children were about the current crisis: "George is much older than Louis is, and but they are aware. I think I am always surprised. Although you don’t want to scare them or make it too overwhelming, I think it is appropriate to acknowledge it in simple ways, in age-appropriate ways."
