Sharing her opinion on the photo, royal commentator Helena Chard said the young royal is the “royal anecdote” to ongoing scandals surrounding Prince Harry and former Pricne Andrew.

She further shared, "The Prince and Princess of Wales have marked Prince Louis’ eighth birthday with exactly what royal fans hoped for — sunshine, smiles and a snippet of family life on a boat by the Cornish Sea.”

Chard told Fox News that the photograph "shows a relaxed Prince Louis mid-giggle, oozing strength, energy and charm.

“Everyone looks forward to a Prince Louis special moment, especially a Prince Louis cheeky, warm relatable moment and his eighth birthday image doesn’t disappoint.”

"He’s still very much our cheeky Prince,” she noted.

Furthermore, she said that Louis portrait taken in Cornwall "says it all,” as its “William’s Duchy, yes. But more than that, they all love Cornwall, and it paints a picture of ‘We holiday where you holiday.'”

“Everyone enjoys a joyful relatable image," she explained.
