Prince Louis is marking his sixth birthday with a celebration filled with love from his family.
As the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Louis is no stranger to extravagant presents and luxurious living.
However, amidst all the lavish gifts, there is one particular present that stands out for its special significance – a heartfelt gesture from his uncle, Prince Harry.
Reportedly, Prince Harry spared no expense, spending £8000 on a unique gift for his nephew’s christening.
This gift held a poignant connection to their late grandmother, Princess Diana, who had a deep appreciation for collecting first editions of classic books.
In line with this tradition, Harry decided to gift Louis a first edition copy of A.
A. Milne’s beloved tale, Winnie the Pooh, dating back to 1926.
The rarity of this book lies in the fact that only 30,000 copies were printed in its initial publication, making it a valuable and sentimental piece.
A close friend of Prince Harry revealed that books played a significant role in Harry’s cherished childhood memories, particularly the joy of his mother reading bedtime stories to him.
According to sources close to the Duke of Sussex, he envisioned creating a special library of first editions for Louis, as well as his siblings, Charlotte and George, to enjoy as they grow older.
While initially considering Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass, priced at £24,000, Harry ultimately opted for Winnie the Pooh as a more fitting choice for a young reader’s introduction to classic literature.
It is known that William’s favorite book was Robinson Crusoe, whereas Harry’s fondness leaned towards the works of A.
A. Milne.
