Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte captured together in home photos

Photographs of Prince Louis' first days at home have been released by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, including an image of the new royal baby being kissed by his older sister Princess Charlotte, the media reported on Sunday,

A second picture shows Prince Louis on April 26, when he was three days old, propped on top of a white cushion.

Both photos were taken by the Duchess of Cambridge at Kensington Palace.

Catherine also released pictures to mark other milestones in her children's lives, including the official photographs of her newborn daughter and Prince George and Princess Charlotte's first days at nursery school.

Kensington Palace said Prince William and Catherine were "very pleased" to share the photographs.

"Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank members of the public for all of the kind messages they have received following the birth of Prince Louis, and for Princess Charlotte's third birthday."

Prince Louis was born at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, on April 23.

Prince George, who will turn five in July, does not appear in the latest photographs, reports the BBC.

He was last seen in public outside St Mary's Hospital when he and Princess Charlotte were taken by their father to meet the latest addition to their family.
