    Just last week, Princess Kate and Prince William posted a previously unseen photo of their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—in honor of Mountain Rescue Awareness Day. For Halloween, the Prince and Princess of Wales decided to release another unseen snap, this time of a baby Prince Louis visiting a pumpkin patch for Halloween.

    Kate and William shared the photo on Instagram on October 31, along with the caption, "Happy Halloween!" The caption continued, "Prince Louis, aged 1, photographed by the Princess of Wales." In the photo, little Louis can be seen reaching down to pick up a pumpkin, which is much bigger than he is.

    The sweet snap immediately delighted royal fans, who took to the comments to discuss the photo.

    Prince Louis is now 8 years old, meaning that Princess Kate's sweet Halloween picture was captured seven years ago. While the prince is a lot older now, he has retained his cheeky demeanor and is known for delivering mischievous moments at royal engagements.

    Previous reports have suggested that Princess Kate likes to take George, Charlotte, and Louis trick-or-treating for Halloween, so perhaps the royals will be busy dressing up for the occasion.
