The couple, who wed in April 2011, welcomed their third bundle of joy, Prince Louis, on April 23 in the Lindo Wing suite at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. Louis joined big brother Prince George, 4, and big sister Princess Charlotte, who celebrated her third birthday on May 2.

Since Louis’ arrival, Charlotte hasn’t left his side. Another royal confidant told Us, “Charlotte is really enjoying having a younger brother to play with. She’s taking her big sister duties very seriously. … Charlotte is just like [George]. They have a great bond, and a similar connection is growing between Charlotte and Louis.”
