Yesterday evening the royals shared a series of snaps of Prince Louis with different coloured paints covering the palm of his hand as he made a hand-print painting.
But in true royal style the young prince kept the mess contained to his hands, as he looked adorably suave in a white and navy checked shirt and kept his cute face and neat hair absolutely spotless.
‘Sharing a sneak peek of Prince Louis’s handiwork ahead of his second birthday! 🎨,’ Kensington Palace wrote alongside the post.
‘We are pleased to share images ahead of Prince Louis’s second birthday tomorrow, taken by The Duchess this April’.
Fans were loving the sweet photos, with some even spotting a cute detail in the snaps!
Several couldn’t get over the little one’s resemblance to older brother Prince George, writing, ‘He's George's mini me!! 😍’, ‘he's the double of George’, ‘What a darling! Image of his brother!’ and ‘Looks just like his older brother. 🥰💗🙏🏼’.

But surprisingly some even claimed they could see Kate Middleton’s dad Michael in the little one’s face, commenting, ‘So adorable 😍😍looks like Kate's dad’, ‘He looks like Catherine’s father, Michael Middleton!’ and ‘A little dote- the image of his Grandpa Middleton!’.
To mark the special day today, the royals added a further post this morning, zooming in on the young prince’s rainbow-adorned hands before revealing that he could only hold out so long before smearing the colourful paints all over his face.
‘Instagram vs Reality,’ they captioned the hilarious post.
‘Thank you for your lovely messages on Prince Louis’ second birthday 🌈.
‘We are very pleased to share today, on Prince Louis second birthday, new photographs taken by The Duchess this April’.
