Adorable new pictures taken by the Duchess of Cambridge have been released showing Prince Louis enjoying a day out in north Norfolk to mark his fourth birthday.
The young royal was in high spirits as he explored the dunes at Holkham Beach, which is one of the county's most popular tourist spots.
The images have been released to mark the birthday of William and Kate's youngest child today (April 23), but they were taken earlier this month.

The young prince is wearing a grey jumper, decorated with a band of colourful stars across his chest, a shirt and shorts.
Louis holds a cricket ball in two of the pictures and in another Kate has photographed her son as he is about to bowl.
His great-grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh was a keen cricketer and life-long fan of the game.
