Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, melted hearts with a touching nine-word birthday message dedicated to her beloved husband, Prince William, as he celebrated his 42nd birthday.
The royal couple’s official residence, Kensington Palace, unveiled a charming new photograph capturing Prince William alongside their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
In the delightful image, the quartet can be seen joyfully leaping into the air against the backdrop of a picturesque coastal scene.
The photograph, skillfully taken by Princess Kate herself, features a sweet caption penned by the Duchess, expressing, “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much.”
The display of affection and camaraderie among the royal family members is evident in the snapshot, showcasing both the Duchess’s photography prowess and the genuine bond shared within the family.
This candid moment captured a departure from the traditional royal portraits, embracing a more relaxed and playful tone.
As Prince William commemorates his special day, he is expected to enjoy a private celebration with his family.
Born on June 21, 1982, at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital at 9:03 pm, William Arthur Philip Louis entered the world as the firstborn son of the King and the late Princess Diana, weighing 7lbs 1.5oz.
Earlier today, King Charles took to the official social media accounts of the royal family to extend heartfelt birthday wishes to his son and heir, sharing an endearing throwback image.
The nostalgic picture captures King Charles radiating joy while cradling baby William in his arms when the young prince was just a few months old.
Accompanying the precious photograph is a simple yet heartfelt message, “Happy birthday to the Prince of Wales,” harkening back to a cherished moment at Kensington Palace in London on February 1, 1983.
