Prince Louis Arthur Charles was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. He was born on April 23, St George's Day, weighing 8lb 7oz.

At his christening, he will be dressed in the same traditional cream gown used for his older siblings. The robe is a replica of the lace and satin dress made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter in 1841.
