Royal fans adored seeing the new photo of Prince Louis to celebrate his seventh birthday, especially as Prince William and Catherine's youngest son looked so grown up!

Chatting about the youngster's birthday celebration in the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast, our hosts Andrea Caamano and Emmy Griffiths revealed a change of tradition they have noticed with how the royals release the birthday portraits.

LISTEN: We talk Prince Louis' new royal photo

Andrea explained: "I can't help but notice that lately, we've had a change in the way that the photos are released. We used to get them the night before. Now we're just waiting around on the day, and they're released as they see fit. What has brought on that change?"

HELLO!'s Royal Editor Emily Nash revealed several reasons why she thought the image was no longer being released the night before, as royal fans have come to expect. Check out the full episode of A Right Royal Podcast to find out more!
