the youngest of the whales is turning six today, and a lot of us were hoping cameron walker to see aery much is tradition. we would usually get a photograph of the royal the night before the birthday, so the papers can have it for the front pages the next day. that has not happened. for the first time ever since prince louis was born . i think we have to take born. i think we have to take a step back here. remember, it is very unprecedented times. the princess of wales is still going through preventative chemotherapy. the last photograph kensington palace released of their family was on mother's day, which clearly was then killed by photo agencies because of the apparent manipulation of the image. so it wouldn't surprise me if they're a little bit spooked and the prince and princess of wales is slightly more cautious when it comes to releasing photographs. and to be honest, do they really need the added stress of everyone you know, minutely looking at a new photograph of their youngest child on his birthday? i think the answer to thatis birthday? i think the answer to that is probabl

cameron walker, a royal correspondent, is here with this one.of the year, the princess of wales's popularity is up six points with the british public. according to this yougov poll. and obviously at the year, she at the start of the year, she went hospital for abdominal went into hospital for abdominal surgery subsequently surgery and has subsequently been diagnosed with cancer and is the is undergoing surgery. look, the princess of wales, since becoming a member of the royal family, has committed no major faux pas. there's been no particular with she particular scandal with her. she always puts family first and she really champions, causes such as mental health, importance of the provision for early years as well. and i hate the phrase born a commoner , but she wasn't born a commoner, but she wasn't born into aristocracy , she was not into aristocracy, she was not born into the royal family. she gave up her old life. and yes, that comes with lots of privilege. being a member of the royal family. but it also comes with enormous challenges, such
