The Wales family is undoubtedly the most talked-about in the world. And with Prince William and Princess Kate returning to the spotlight this year, following her cancer recovery, and Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis at the forefront this summer, the Wales' never fail to make headlines.
That was no exception this weekend, as Prince William celebrated his 43rd birthday. And to mark the occasion, Princess Kate and the children paid tribute to the future King on social media.
"Happy birthday!," captioned the sweet photograph of Prince William in the garden surrounded by his cocker spaniel, Orla, and three new family members. "Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies! 🐾."

"Orla and her adorable new puppies 😍," read one comment, while another posted: "Best photo ever surrounded by those beautiful puppies 🐶."
"What an adorable photo of your expanding family!," read another sweet message. "Have a wonderful time with your family and gorgeous Orla and the puppies. ❤️🥳."

"They were devastated when Lupo passed away, as any dog owner will understand, but got the new puppy before he died," a source told The Mail on Sunday at the time. "It was hoped that the younger dog would give Lupo some company and give him a little bit more life and energy.
