Prince Louis celebrated his sixth birthday on April 24, but concerns about his future linger\u2014particularly from Prince Harry. As the fourth in line to the throne, Louis is unlikely to become king but will play a key royal role.\n

This year\u2019s birthday photo was delayed, reportedly due to the fallout from Kate Middleton\u2019s Mother\u2019s Day photo controversy. Eventually, a new image taken by Kate was released, sparking analysis from body language expert Judi James, who suggested it contained hidden messages.\n

The idea of the \u201cspare to the heir\u201d has gained attention, especially since Prince Harry\u2019s memoir Spare detailed his struggles with this role. Some speculate he worries that Louis may face a similar fate.\n

In his memoir, Prince Harry recalled King Charles telling Princess Diana after his birth, \u201cWonderful! Now you\u2019ve given me an heir and a spare \u2013 my work is done.\u201d\n

Harry also voiced concerns about Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte, fearing they could face the same struggles he did as the \u201cspare.\u201d In an interview with The Telegraph, he shared that while William insisted his children were not Harry\u2019s responsibility, he still worried that at least one of them would end up like him.\n

\n

Reflecting on his role, Harry claimed he was born as a backup for Prince William, even suggesting he was seen as a potential source for medical needs like organ donations.\n

\u201cThey will encourage Louis to explore life outside the royal fold\u201d\n

In Spare, Prince Harry spoke openly about William\u2019s children, prompting royal author Ingrid Seward to warn him against it. \u201cHe should lay off William\u2019s kids. It\u2019s a dangerous road,\u201d she told The Sun, adding that William alone is responsible for them.\n

Meanwhile, royal expert Jennie Bond noted that William and Kate are aware of the challenges Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte might face as \u201cspares.\u201d She believes they will encourage Louis to explore opportunities beyond royal duties\u2014possibly in the military, charity work, or another field of interest.\n

\n

Bond emphasized that the Waleses want their children to feel valued regardless of their position in the line of succession. They aim to instill empathy and a sense of purpose, ensuring a meaningful life of service.\n

Following tradition, William and Kate release birthday portraits of their children, taken by Kate herself\u2014an annual treat for royal fans.\n
