However, fans pointed out that Louis is actually the Queen’s sixth great-grandchild.
He was born on April 23, 2018, and shortly after his cousin, Lena Tindall, was born on June 18, 2018.
This mean Mark and Zara Tindall’s daughter is the monarch’s seventh great-grandchild.
One person said: “6th. Not 7th. Lena is the 7th born 3 months after Louis.”
Another agreed: “Yes! That’s what I was saying. But only for almost two months. Lena was born on June 18.”
Meanwhile, followers also sent their best wishes to the little boy, with many noticing how much Louis looks like his older brother George.
What did fans say?
One wrote: “Louis looks so much like George in the second photo. Hope he has a great birthday”.
After that, someone else pointing out: “That’s because he’s wearing one of his shirts.”
Another follower called Louis “a royal cutie”.
