Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have shared a heartwarming Father’s Day tribute to their father, Prince William, in their first social media post. The post features a photo taken on the Norfolk coast last month, showing William with his arms around his children, gazing out to sea. The message reads, ‘We love you, Papa. Happy Father’s Day’, accompanied by two red hearts and signed ‘G, C & L’.

This marks a significant moment as it is the first time the prince’s children have publicly expressed their love for their father on the family’s social media accounts. In a separate post, Prince William also honored his own father, King Charles III, with a throwback image of them playing football in the gardens of Kensington Palace when William was just a toddler.

Additionally, the Royal Family’s social media account shared archival footage of King Charles with his father, Prince Philip, in a touching tribute. The video, sourced from the BFI National Archive, captures intimate moments between the King and his late father, including scenes from King Charles’ childhood.

These heartfelt Father’s Day messages come following the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony, where the royals made a public appearance. Notably, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, attended the event amidst her ongoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The King himself has been undergoing treatment for an illness and recently resumed public duties in April.

As the nation celebrates Father’s Day, these gestures from the royal family serve as a reminder of the importance of family bonds and cherished memories. The posts not only honor fathers but also pay tribute to the legacy of past generations, emphasizing the significance of love and connection within the royal family.
