The social post, shared via William and Kate’s official Instagram account on Saturday, October 31, delighted followers with an unseen childhood photo alongside a festive greeting reading, “Happy Halloween! 🎃”. The caption noted that the photograph was taken personally by the Princess of Wales during an autumn outing when Louis was just one year old.
