Prince Louis The youngest of Kate and William’s three children, Prince Louis, has jumped into the spotlight with a new royal family photo released to mark his birthday. This recent development has prompted hosts Andrea Caamano and Emmy Griffiths to explore the shifting traditions surrounding royal photo releases during the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast.
The new official photograph of Prince Louis shows him enjoying his birthday celebrations. This announcement is a big departure from the customary timing guidelines for royal baby photos. In the past, these beloved portraits would be released shortly before each royal’s birthday. Unlike previous years’ trends, this time the photos are being revealed on the big day of the celebration itself.
In their exchange, Caamano noted how that tradition had only recently changed. She noted that the royal family now appears to be releasing photographs at their discretion, rather than adhering to a consistent schedule.
“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?” – Andrea Caamano
This change to the timing and method of photo disclosures has caused some confusion among royal watchers, so here’s what you need to know. In a recent episode of the podcast, our hosts explored what this means. They looked at its potential to improve public understanding and set a new tone for future news from the royal family.
Caamano’s recent observations illustrate a historic change in the royal family’s mindset. They’re getting ahead of the curve with a little earned media. Sharing images the same day provides a fresh, close-to-the-scenes experience for the public that immediately engages fans and followers. This personalized touch addresses the contemporary demand for immediacy found within social media and today’s public-facing announcements.
Listen to the full discussion in the A Right Royal Podcast episode, and follow along to find your place at the intersection of these developing customs. By discussing Prince Louis’ birthday celebration alongside the new photographic release strategy, Caamano and Griffiths offer insights into how royal traditions continue to evolve in response to changing societal norms.
