Kensington Palace has released an unseen photo of Prince William with Princess Charlotte to mark his birthday and Father’s Day.
The Prince of Wales today turns 44.
In the social media post, William can be seen with his 11-year-old daughter in the Kensington Palace garden after returning home from Trooping the Colour on Saturday, June 13.
The heartwarming image was captured by Matt Porteous.
Underneath the picture, the message reads: “Happy birthday and Father’s Day to the best Papa in the World!
“We love you very much.”
It was signed off by Catherine, George, Charlotte, and Louis.
The prince could be seen in his Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards, reflecting his senior military position.
The outfit was adorned with a vast array of military medals, including the star and sash of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the Lesser George and a Welsh Guards Sword.
William also wore the Gold, Diamond, and Platinum Jubilee medals, as well as the Coronation Medal that was awarded when his father took the throne.
Charlotte, meanwhile, wore her beautiful off-white dress, featuring a traditional colour, that she could be seen in during the King’s Official Birthday parade.
The Prince of Wales, who bookends one of the busiest weeks in the royal calendar with events such as Trooping the Colour, the Order of the Garter and Royal Ascot, is expected to spend the day celebrating with his family at home.
Prince William Arthur Philip Louis was born St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London on June 21, 1982 to the then-Prince of Wales, Charles, and Princess Diana.
He spent much of his upgringing between Kensington Palace at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
The Prince of Wales met Catherine while studying at St Andrews University in Scotland, and the pair became romantically involved in 2003.
After eight years dating, the pair wed in a lavish royal wedding at Westminster Abbey on April 29.
The future King first became a father after the birth of Prince George on July 22, 2013, in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
Two years later, on May 2, 2015, Princess Charlotte was born, and Prince Louis completed the trio on April 23, 2018.
