The royal family has marked Prince William’s 44th birthday, and Father’s Day, by releasing a previously unseen photo of him and his daughter Princess Charlotte.
The photo, taken after this year’s Trooping the Colour, was shared on Instagram on Sunday.
It featured the caption: “Happy birthday and Father’s Day to the best Papa in the World! We love you very much. C, G, C & L” and an emoji of two pink hearts.
The picture was taken in the garden of Kensington Palace after the Trooping the Colour ceremony last weekend.
William wears the scarlet dress uniform of the Welsh Guards, of which he is colonel, and Charlotte wears a cream dress.
In his birthday week, the Prince of Wales was joined by his wife at Royal Ascot for the first time since 2023.
On Wednesday, Kate and William took part in the traditional carriage ride, enjoyed the races from the royal box and even shared a joke with former England manager Sir Gareth Southgate before the World Cup match against Croatia.
The princess made her first appearance at the famous Berkshire meet since being diagnosed with cancer in early 2024 and later undergoing successful chemotherapy treatment.
The couple were also part of Monday’s Garter Day celebrations at Windsor Castle.
But it appears to be a quieter birthday for the prince than in 2024, when he took Prince George and Princess Charlotte to see Taylor Swift at Wembley stadium.
