Prince of Wales and children captured in new Father’s Day photo



Kensington Palace has released a new photo of the Prince of Wales being embraced by his three children for Father’s Day.

It shows William on the Windsor Estate, sitting with a paternal arm wrapped around his eldest son, Prince George.

Princess Charlotte sits on her father’s right in a dress decorated with daisies, resting her hands on his knee and smiling up at him.

Prince Louis, the youngest of the trio, has clasped his arms around William’s neck and is grinning broadly.

They are sitting on a bench inscribed with the date 21 April 2016 – the day that their great-grandmother, Elizabeth II, turned 90.

It comes after the family celebrated the King’s official birthday in Saturday’s Trooping the Colour, which saw over 1,400 soldiers line the Mall and march in formation around Horse Guards Parade.

Louis managed to steal the spotlight from his siblings, sticking out his tongue at spectators and wrinkling his nose at the smell of the horse manure.

Later in the day, he was photographed saluting and covering his ears as 70 RAF aircraft roared over Buckingham Palace during the flypast.

Like his father, the Prince of Wales attended Trooping the Colour on horseback, accompanied by the Princess Royal and Duke of Edinburgh.

It marks the first time that the monarch has been mounted for the ceremony since 1986, when the late Queen rode her favourite horse, Burmese.
