'To all Dads everywhere, we wish you a happy Father's Day today,' the caption of the post read.
Charles made no mention of sons Harry, 40, or Prince William in the tribute.

William, 42, was honored on Father's Day by his and Kate Middleton's three children on the Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram account.
The tribute included two snapshots of William with his sons Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, 7, and daughter Princess Charlotte, 10. The second image featured the kids laying on top of their dad.
'Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L 💖,' the message to William read.
Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, and William are both estranged from Harry, who quit his royal duties alongside wife Meghan Markle in 2020 and moved to the US.

Last month, Harry said that his father 'won't speak' to him in his explosive BBC interview after the duke lost his appeal to maintain tax-payer funded security detail in the UK.
'There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,' Harry admitted in the May 2 interview.

'Some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book,' Harry also said, referring to his 2023 memoir 'Spare,' adding, 'Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.'
Harry also said in the interview: 'I don't know how much longer my father has.'

Meanwhile, Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and their kids showed a united front on the Buckingham Palace balcony to mark the king's official birthday.

Parenting Pro Elon Musk's (Very Relatable) Father's Day Tips
Driving in Los Angeles recently, I saw one of those digital billboards showing the national debt. The total at that moment was something like 36,841,875,823,151—and rising. But as the numbers that flashed by I wondered, were they counting really our out-of-control spending… or Elon Musk's children? And given the holiday this weekend, it got me thinking—who better to give Father's Day tips to America's dads than a man who has at least 14 or 15 children (as of this morning) by 4 or 5 different women? I don't know the exact number but then neither does Elon. So here we all are. George Foreman had 12 kids (or as Elon says, only 12) and decided to name all five of the boys George. Not only is that boring—even with the Roman numerals after their name—but it will have had to have been confusing whenever he yelled, 'George Junior you're getting a timeout.' Or when Mrs. Foreman screamed out George Senior's name in a moment of passion. You don't want five boys running in the room while Mom is heels over head. This is why Elon recommends every father should give each of his offspring a truly stand-out name. Not only does it give the child a sense of being unique, it greatly increases the chances that one day they could write a sequel to 'A Boy Named Sue.' The Musk kids' names include such gems as X Æ A-12, Exa, Strider, Azure, Techno, Arcadia, Seldon Lycurgus, Romulus and Nevada. By the way, that last one follows in the 1990s tradition of naming kids after the place where they were conceived—which explains why I named my kids Paris, Dakota, and Backseat of a Buick. Elon believes that kids learn by watching Dad. For example, he brought X Æ A-Xii to the Oval Office during a visit with President Trump and the very next day the 5-year-old fired 35,000 federal employees. Remember, every child wants to be just like their dad—except maybe the Son of Sam. (Editor's Note: With this reference, Mr. Macks wins the $3 prize in this week's Daily Beast obscure knowledge office pool.) Elon gets it, parenting is hard. Taking care of your offspring can be challenging whether you see them once every two years or are there in-person thanks to a court order once a month; whether you're worth a comfortable $450 billion or struggling to get by on just eight figures a year. And we all know it's those middle dozen-or-so kids that can be especially trying. But at the end of the day, no matter what problems your kids have caused, make sure you Zoom with them with a happy face—and that they see those store-bought Mar-A Lago lips, chiseled cheekbones, wide eyes and wrinkle-free forehead. As Elon says, seeing their parents that way can help a child have a better night's sleep than even a double cup of Robitussin PM. This can be summed up very simply. Never give a child a timeout or spanking—when they need to be disciplined for bad behavior or woke ideology, simply deport them. My own dear Dad taught me from an early age that 'there is no such thing as a free lunch' and 'never borrow money on the street from a guy named Lefty as he'll kill you on the vig.' Joe Biden's Dad always said, 'Joey, it's not how many times a man is down, it's how many times he can get up.' (Which coincidentally is also the Viagra slogan.) In retrospect, though, maybe he should have suggested, 'never debate after three in the afternoon.' The problem with those missives, however helpful or world-altering the guidance they provide, is that they are not translatable to all kids. They're too specific. Elon, then, advises all dads to pass along the following three maxims not just on Father's Day but every day to help shape a child's journey: 'Always thank your mothers' 'The first billion is the hardest' 'Everything in moderation except ketamine' I hope you follow this sage advice on how to raise a confident, strong brood. And in the end, no matter how hard it is to be a father in these challenging times, remember these words from another one of my heroes, Woody Allen: A Dad is a son's first hero, and a daughter's first love. Happy Father's Day!

NYC dad dragged to Pedro Pascal lookalike contest — and wins it
This Mandalorian earned his bounty. A Brooklyn dad was dragged by his family to a look-alike contest for actor Pedro Pascal on Sunday — and ended up winning it. George Gountas took home $50 — and a year's supply of burritos — for being the closest ringer to Pascal — the star of series including the 'Star Wars' spin-off 'The Mandalorian' and 'Game of Thrones' — at the Lower East Side's Son Del North Mexican restaurant. 4 George Gountas of Brooklyn is flanked by admirers as he wins the Pedro Pascal look-alike contest on the Lower East Side on Sunday. LP Media 4 The real Pascal is a hot commodity in Hollywood these days. Getty Images 'It started when the 'Game of Thrones' came out the first time — that's when we first heard it,' Gountas' wife, Jenny Gania, said of people noticing her hubby's likeness to the 50-year-old Chilean-born actor, who famously starred as bounty hunter Din Djarin in 'The Mandalorian.' 'Then some kids started noting it, too, so I was like, when we saw this [contest], I was like, 'It's Father's Day. You have to go. It's going to be your Father's Day treat,' ' Gania said she told her husband. 'It's funny, because he's not on social media at all. But now he's going to be everywhere.' Gountas of Greenpoint edged out nearly 30 other people for the title. Restaurant chef and co-owner Annisha Garcia said the inspiration for the Manhattan contest came from Pascal's famous 2023 quip that there was no decent Mexican food in the Big Apple. 4 Gountas celebrates his victory, which includes a year's supply of burritos. LP Media 'I'm, 'So sorry, but there's no Mexican, good Mexican food in New York?' ' Garcia said. 'And we were like, 'There is, and we are here.' ' Co-owner Wim Shih said the whole idea behind the contest was to bring a smile to folks during troubled times. 'There's just so much sadness in the world right now, and we wanted to be a bit of sunshine today amidst all that,' Shih said. The wannabe-Pascals who showed up for the contest included one participant sporting a t-shirt that read, 'Protect the Dolls and all Immigrants' — a play on the slogan, 'Protect the Dolls,' that the actor popularized to support his transgender sister, Lux Pascal. 4 Contestants run the gamut Sunday. Melanie Marich/NY Post Pascal has earned wide acclaim for his roles, which also have included Oberyn Martell in the hit series 'Game of Thrones' and Joel Miller in 'The Last of Us.' Sunday's event is the latest celebrity look-alike competition in the five boroughs since a Timothee Chalamet contest in Washington Square Park in October — with the actor himself making an appearance at the event.
