Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have marked Father’s Day with a touching message for their dad, Prince William.
In a social media post shared on Sunday, two new photographs were released showing the Prince of Wales with his three children.
The images, taken earlier this year in Norfolk by photographer Josh Shinner, capture candid moments between the future king and his young family.
The post was accompanied by a sweet handwritten-style caption that read: “Happy Father’s Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L”. It ends with a heart emoji.
The images offer an intimate glimpse into the family’s close bond and were shared as part of the royal family’s celebration of Father’s Day.
Happy Father’s Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L 💖

It comes a day after George, 11, Louis, seven, and their sister Charlotte, 10, joined their parents and other members of the royal family for the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
George was been seen nudging his boisterous younger brother Louis to wave more calmly at the crowd following a military parade to celebrate the King’s official birthday.
The children watched a flypast of military aircraft from the balcony of Buckingham Palace with their grandfather, the King, the Queen, and their parents.
Louis, wearing a red tie and dark suit that matched his brother’s, began enthusiastically waving at the crowd, drawing big cheers from those standing in the Mall to watch the Red Arrows fly overhead.
He briefly stopped to turn around and address his father, then continued to wave and grin until George gently nudged him to stop by touching his arm.
But the youngest prince could not resist giving the crowd one last wave as his family retreated into Buckingham Palace after the flypast ended.
The children had ridden to Horse Guards Parade with their mother and sister in a carriage earlier in the day to watch the troops.
Boisterous Louis has become known for entertaining royal fans with his reactions during royal events.
During VE Day celebrations earlier this year, the young prince appeared to playfully imitate George as the siblings watched the military procession from the Queen Victoria Memorial.
Louis seemed to copy the way his brother flicked his hair, then smoothed down his own in an exaggerated fashion.
He similarly stole the limelight at last year’s Trooping the Colour ceremony, yawning and later dancing during the quick march of the Scots Guards to Highland Laddie.
During the 2023 Trooping the Colour parade, Louis, then aged five, ostensibly held his nose to possibly ward off the smell of horse manure from the many military mounts.
He was also seen yawning and fidgeting during the service for his grandfather’s coronation at Westminster Abbey in May 2023.
