Prince Louis showed off his cycle skills on a trendy Frog balance bike in a new birthday portrait released to mark his third birthday today.
The youngest son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sits on a red Tadpole Plus model, costing £200, which has no pedals or chain, as he posed for the photo at Kensington Palace.
Balance bikes are a relatively new phenomenon which has cropped up in the UK in recent years, with parents ditching the stabilisers and instead purchasing the training bicycles to help children learn balance and steering.
There are no foot pedals, chain, gears, or in most cases brakes to worry about on a balance bike, and so children are more capable of understanding how to balance themselves.
