The Prince of Wales’ children wished him a happy Father’s Day with a personally signed social media post that read: “We love you, Dad.”
A new photograph of the Prince of Wales and his three children taken by the Princess of Wales was released on Sunday.
Kensington Palace said Kate’s photograph of William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was taken on the Norfolk coast last month, near the family’s Anmer Hall home.
The photo showed Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, on a trip to the beach with their father, posing with their backs to the camera as they looked out to sea.
In a brief message, the young people declared: ‘We love you, dad. Happy Father’s Day. G, C & L’, in the post, which marks the first time a message from the three children has been shared on the family’s social media accounts.
The photo showed the trio on a trip to the beach with their father, posing with their backs to the camera as they looked out to sea.
The post comes after other family members also posted wishing the fathers in their lives a happy Father’s Day.
The Prince of Wales shared a photo of him playing football with the King. The photo of William and Charles together in the gardens of Kensington Palace was taken on June 12, 1984.
“Happy Father’s Day, Dad,” read the social media post, personally signed by William.
The photo shows William, almost two years old, in short dungarees and a blue striped blouse, and the King in a gray double-breasted suit kicking a small soccer ball.
Later that year, William would have a younger brother, and the Duke of Sussex would be born in September.
The Royal Family’s X account also shared images of Charles and his late father, Prince Philip, taken from the BFI archive.
“Wishing all dads, and those who may be missing their fathers today, a relaxing Father’s Day,” the royal family’s official account said.
Set to piano music, the images showed various scenes of Philip and Charles together. In one clip Philip takes baby Charles out of a stroller, in another the pair are seen sailing together.

Princess Eugenie also posted on social media to mark Father’s Day.
She shared a photo of her husband, Jack Brooksbank, with their sons August, three, and Ernest, one, on Instagram. The photographs were captioned: “Happy Father’s Day.” We love you.’
It comes after Charles’ official birthday celebrations on Saturday, where the Princess of Wales made her first public appearance this year.
Kate looked relaxed during her first day in the spotlight following her cancer diagnosis for the traditional Trooping the Color ceremony.
With the King also suffering from cancer, it was a rare joint public outing for the whole family after a period of uncertainty.
She attended the event in a carriage with her children, while William, the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh rode on horseback.
The King also traveled by carriage with the Queen, unlike last year due to his illness.
Kate and members of the royal family were applauded when they were first seen on The Mall.
Both Kate and Charles have thanked the public for their support after going public with their illness, with Kate saying she had been “blown away” by the “kind messages” which had made “a huge difference to William and I and helped us.” . both in some of the most difficult times.”
William’s Father’s Day message follows what has been a difficult year for the royal family.
The prince has balanced supporting his wife and family with maintaining his official duties.
Kate was initially admitted to hospital for abdominal surgery on January 16 and at the time her condition was thought to be non-cancerous, but cancer was found following the successful operation.
Charles was admitted to the hospital a few days after Kate, also for a procedure that was deemed unrelated to cancer.
In February, Buckingham Palace confirmed that he had been diagnosed with a type of cancer, other than prostate cancer, that was discovered while the King was being treated at the private clinic in London for an enlarged prostate.
Charles initially postponed his public-facing duties but resumed them in late April, speaking of his “shock” at being diagnosed with cancer while meeting patients during a visit to University College Hospital’s Macmillan Cancer Center in downtown London.
