Charlotte, Louis & George pen sweet social media post and adorable photo to wish Prince William a happy Father's Day
PRINCE William's children have wished him a Happy Father's Day in a heartwarming post on social media. The sweet message was posted on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales on behalf of young royals George, Charlotte and Louis. 4 Prince William with his three children in a heartwarming post Credit: Instagram 4 The sweet pictures were posted today Credit: Instagram The post was captioned: "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!). "We love you! G, C & L." One sweet snap showed a grinning William dressed in a green jumper with his arms around his three happy kids. The second showed the trio playfully messing about with their father as they jumped on top of him in a garden. The photographs were taken by Josh Shinner earlier this year in Norfolk. It comes as Wills wore the Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards yesterday during the Trooping the Colour parade. Prince William saluted while on horseback, alongside And Prince Louis stole the show yesterday as he joined members of the Royal Family to mark the King's official birthday. Most read in Royals Alongside George and Charlotte, the young trio were met with jubilant cheers after watching the RAF's flypast during the Trooping the Colour parade. Earlier in the day George and Louis were seen grinning and locked in conversation as the open carriage rolled along the Mall on a glorious sunny morning. They were joined in the carriage by mum Kate and Princess Charlotte, 10, who stunned as they wore matching blue and white outfits, peering out at the eager crowds. This year's celebrations marked Charles' third Trooping the Colour parade as monarch. The King requested that members of the Royal Family sported black armbands at the Trooping the Colour parade. He asked royals to wear the armbands in remembrance of those killed in the Air India plane crash on Thursday. Both King Charles and Prince William were spotted wearing a black armband as they made their way down The Mall. Those at the parade also held a minute's silence following the devastating crash. 4 The Prince and Princess of Wales posted their family on Instagram yesterday Credit: Instagram 4 The Royal Family appeared on the palace balcony to watch the Red Arrows yesterday Credit: Reuters
