'We love you, Papa': Royal children wish Prince William a happy Father's Day
A new photograph of the Prince of Wales and his three children taken by the Princess of Wales has been released as a Father’s Day tribute.
The three youngsters declared: “We love you, Papa. Happy Father’s Day” in a personally-signed social media post.
Kensington Palace said Kate’s picture of William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was taken on the Norfolk coast last month.
The post was the first time a message from the three children has been posted on the family’s social media accounts.
It comes after Charles’s 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 Colour ceremony.
With the King also suffering from cancer, it was a rare joint public outing for the entire family after a period of uncertainty.
She rode to the event in a carriage with her children, while William, the Princess Royal, and the Duke of Edinburgh were on horseback.
The King also rode in a carriage with the Queen, a departure from last year because of his illness.
Kate and members of the royal family were cheered when they were first spotted in The Mall.
Both Kate and Charles have thanked the public for their support after going public with their illnesses, with Kate saying she had been “blown away” by the “kind messages” that had made a “world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times”.
