Taken by his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, earlier this month at the family’s home in Norfolk, the rosy-cheeked royal can be seen happily playing in the garden.
In two of the photos, Louis is wearing a dark red round-neck jumper with a collared shirt underneath. Smiling with his mouth open, he has two bottom front teeth.
In the third image, he is wearing a blue jumper with a dog stitched on the front.
As the third child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Louis is fifth in line to the throne, behind his sister Princess Charlotte, three, and Prince George, five.
The new photos come almost a year after Kensington Palace released two photographs of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, which were taken shortly after his birth.
The images were also taken by Duchess of Cambridge, who captured her youngest son alone and with his sister, who kissed her younger brother's forehead in one picture.
