King Charles III marked Mother’s Day by sharing a set of carefully chosen photos that celebrate maternal figures in the royal family, but one image stood out for who it did not include. The King and Queen Camilla posted three photos on the royal family’s official social media account along with a message marking the occasion.
King Charles marks Mother’s Day with photos without Ex-Prince Andrew in brutal snub
“Wishing Mothers everywhere, and those who might be missing their Mums today, a restful Mothering Sunday,” the caption read. The images portray different generations of royal motherhood. One photograph featured the late Queen Elizabeth II, while another showed Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. A separate image included Queen Camilla with her mother, Rosalind Shand. The final photograph, which sparked the most conversation, offered a more personal glimpse into the royal family’s past. It showed Queen Elizabeth II with her young son, Charles, and Princess Anne, alongside one of her beloved corgis.
Some observers noted the absence of Prince Andrew in the image, but the explanation lies in the photograph’s timing rather than any recent developments. The picture dates back to a period before Andrew and his younger brother, Prince Edward, were born. Andrew was born in 1960, while Edward arrived in 1964, placing both after the moment captured in the image.
Elsewhere, Prince William marked the day with a personal tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana. William shared a previously unseen photograph from the family’s private collection. The image shows Diana with a two-year-old William in a field of flowers at Highgrove, the family’s Gloucestershire residence, in 1984.
Accompanying the photo, William wrote: “Remembering my mother, today and every day. Thinking of all those who are remembering someone they love today. Happy Mother’s Day. W.” Mother’s Day has long served as a moment for the royal family to share both public tributes and personal reflections.
