As Prince Louis marks his sixth birthday, royal enthusiasts might be tickled to learn about one of his top food choices.
The young royals, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte, have quite the palate for everyday favourites, with George partial to cheesy pasta and Charlotte having a penchant for curries. However, it seems that Louis shares his siblings' tastes but also has a soft spot for his greens, particularly an unexpected favourite beetroot, as we previously reported.
Ever since Prince George's arrival in July 2013, the Prince and Princess of Wales have occasionally given the public glimpses into their children's lives through comments at various engagements and interviews. It's through these snippets that fans have pieced together the culinary preferences of the little royals.
For instance, during a visit to a school in Enfield, London, back in February 2019, Kate divulged to the CEO of Ivy Learning Trust, Matthew Kleiner-Mann, details about her children's cooking adventures: "She was telling us how much her children love cooking and how they cook for her. They made cheesy pasta the other day. One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in. And they make salads and stuff."
Prince Louis celebrates his sixth birthday today and royal enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating a new photograph of the youngster, reports the Mirror.
The past few months have been particularly challenging for the Prince and Princess of Wales and their family due to Kate's cancer diagnosis.
The royal couple took the time to gently share the cancer news with their children, allowing them time to understand the situation. Louis was last seen in public on Christmas Day during the Royal Family's traditional festive appearance at the King's Sandringham Estate for the church walk.
He was photographed holding hands with Zara and Mike Tindall's eldest daughter Mia on one side and his father on the other. Earlier that month, Louis joined his older siblings, George, 10, and Charlotte, 8, at the annual Westminster Abbey carol concert organised by their mother.

A few weeks prior to the festive event, Louis and his siblings accompanied their mother on a volunteering visit to the Baby Bank in Holyport near Maidenhead, where they helped sort through donated goods. Other notable appearances for Louis over the past year include his balcony appearance with the Royal family at the conclusion of Trooping the Colour last June.
The young prince was the star of the show as he mimicked riding a motorcycle or bicycle with his arms outstretched and covered his ears during the noisy fly-past. During the carriage ride with his siblings and mother, Louis amusingly held his nose, possibly to ward off the smell of horse manure from the numerous military horses.

In July, the children of William and Kate had the opportunity to explore a C-17 aircraft during a visit to the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. Louis attends Lambrook School in Berkshire alongside his brother and sister and has recently returned to school following the Easter holidays.
A family birthday celebration, potentially involving the prince's grandparents Carole and Michael Middleton, is likely to take place after Louis finishes his school day. Born on St George's Day, April 23, 2018, at the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, weighing 8lb 7oz, William and Kate's youngest child is fourth in line to the throne.
At 11 weeks old, he was christened Louis Arthur Charles by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, in front of friends and family.
