Although this was their first Halloween-themed social media post, the Prince and Princess of Wales have celebrated the occasion with their three children in previous years. Along with Louis, the couple is also parents to Prince George, 13, and Princess Charlotte, 11.
In 2022, a London resident named Jay Rutland shared a photograph of Kate taking her children trick-or-treating. According to Hello Magazine, he posted the picture online and wrote, “For anyone doubting how down to earth William and Kate are… This is Kate with their kids knocking on our door in London trick-or-treating at Halloween.”
Kate was also spotted shopping for Halloween costumes with George and Charlotte at a supermarket in Norfolk in 2019. A resident recalled seeing the Princess of Wales asking other children what they planned to dress up as for the holiday.
The latest post gave the royal couple an opportunity to share another family moment while marking Halloween with their followers.
