New photos of Prince Louis to mark his 4th birthday

A series of photographs of Britain's Prince Louis have been released ahead of his fourth birthday on Saturday.

The four images, showing the young royal on the beach, were taken earlier this month in Norfolk, England, by his mother Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The photographs show him holding a cricket ball, appearing to run into bowl and a portrait of him smiling. Prince Louis is fifth in line for the throne.
