The Prince of Wales received birthday wishes from Kate Middleton and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis
The message comes after William starred with his kids in two portraits released for Father's DayPrince William is being celebrated on his 43rd birthday by his wife, Kate Middleton, and their three children.
On Saturday, June 21, Princess Kate, 43, shared a photo on Instagram of Prince William surrounded by their puppies as she led tributes with a sweet message from her and their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.
"Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies! 🐾" she captioned the snap.
It was just last month that the couple's beloved dog, Orla, welcomed a set of puppies, The Sun reported.
'Everyone loves a new royal baby news and so new royal puppies run very close," an insider told the outlet at the time.
The family was gifted Orla in 2020 after James Middleton's dog Luna gave birth to six puppies.
King Charles also shared a birthday tribute to Prince William on behalf of the royal family on his Instagram Stories.
"Happy birthday to the Prince of Wales!" he captioned a photo of William sitting in a field.
The messages followed the adorable before-and-after pictures that the Prince and Princess of Wales' children posted for Father's Day on June 15. William was shown with his arms around the children as they stood for a relaxed portrait under what appeared to be a cherry tree. The second photo captured them playfully falling into one another as the kids piled on top of their dad.
"Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L 💖," the post was captioned.
Josh Shinner, a photographer who has also previously taken photos of the Princess of Wales, took the pictures on what appeared to be the same day as the portraits for Louis' 7th birthday.
Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more!
The social media posts came at the end of an intensely busy time for the royals, full of public events.
Last weekend on June 14, there was the annual birthday parade for the King, Trooping the Colour, and then came Garter Day on June 16, when Princess Kate watched as Prince William paraded down the hill from Windsor Castle for the service at St. George's Chapel before joining him in a carriage when the royals left.
Several days of horse racing at Royal Ascot (its fifth and final day is today, June 21) followed. Unfortunately, Kate didn't join the family this year for the races, despite being expected to attend on Wednesday with William. She is still managing her return to public-facing engagements as she continues her recovery from cancer treatment, those close to her say.
"She's being sensible, listening to what her body is telling her and easing back into public life," Queen Elizabeth's former spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson tells PEOPLE in this week's exclusive cover story.
Prince William also teamed up with actress Cate Blanchett on June 19 to visit one of his Earthshot Prize finalists to highlight the work they are doing to create a more sustainable fashion industry with innovative ways to make color dyes that use much less water and no harmful chemicals.

Prince Harry Sets Return to the UK After Claiming He'd ‘Only' Come Back Home For a ‘Funeral'
Every family has family drama; it's just that when you're the British royal family, that family drama is something everyone is interested in. That's turned into a big issue, particularly considering King Charles is ill, and he and Prince William are in the middle of a feud with Prince Harry. Not to mention, divorce rumors are always flying, both about Prince William and Kate Middleton and about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Prince Harry recently said in an interview that he's looking for a reconciliation, especially as he doesn't know how much time his father has left. But his recent loss in the case involving his security also means he has refused to bring his wife and kids to the UK, due to safety concerns, even going as far as to say he couldn't imagine a situation where it would make sense for them to visit. That makes a family reunion all the more unlikely. More from StyleCaster Harry & Meghan Just Snubbed Their Sussex Past After William Went After Their Kids For Their Royal Titles William Just Involved Archie & Lilibet in His Feud With Harry as He Goes After His Brother For the 'Ultimate Windsor Crime' Related: See what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth However, there's an upcoming event that might change all of that, the Invictus Games in Birmingham. Both Harry and Meghan have attended all the recent Invictus Games, with one royal observer saying, 'The Invictus Games have so far been unmissable for Harry and Meghan.' The two attended the last games in Vancouver and before in Düsseldorf. In fact, in 2022, Meghan even paid tribute to Harry during the opening ceremony of the COVID-postponed games in The Hague. There's still a long time until Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have to worry about this eventuality, though. The Invictus Games are set to happen in Birmingham from July 10-17, 2027. Competitors are set to participate in nine core sports, with three new additions – e-sports, pickleball, and laser run. 'We are thrilled to officially announce the confirmed dates for Invictus Games Birmingham 2027,' Helen Helliwell, CEO of Birmingham 2027, said. 'These Games will shine a light on Birmingham's incredible community spirit and the West Midlands' strong commitment to supporting the recovery and rehabilitation of our Armed Forces community.' And though this is in no way a confirmation of Harry's presence, he did address the next games during the opening ceremony in Vancouver by saying: 'Bring on Invictus Birmingham 2027. You have permission to party!' The Invictus Games are a biannual sporting competition for injured service personnel. They have become, at this point, a big part of the Sussex brand. So, it's likely Prince Harry will find a way to be there, though the presence of Meghan Markle might still be in doubt. Still, a lot can happen from now to 2027. All of this comes after Prince Harry said in his latest BBC interview that, the 'only time I come back to the U.K. is, sadly, for funerals or court cases.' Sources even told Fox News that they don't expect the brothers to see each other again unless Charles dies. 'The funeral of Charles would be the first time that courtiers would imagine [them reuniting],' the source said. 'I can't imagine William would invite Harry to his coronation.' But if anything's going to bring Harry back home outside of that, it might just be the Invictus Games.

William & Kate Already ‘Preparing' George, Charlotte & Louis For ‘Future Roles' Amid Charles ‘Incurable' Cancer
There's no doubt that King Charles' illness has accelerated the timeline for succession, or at least the timeline for preparations in the UK. The King has returned to most of his duties, but his age and his illness have made the British Royal Family very aware of the reality that there will soon be another King. And preparations for that have already started, with reports indicating that Prince William and Kate Middleton's roles are already starting to resemble this reality. Perhaps the clearest sign of this is King Charles pretty much deferring to Prince William's preferences when it comes to how they've handled the feud with Prince Harry. Reports indicate King Charles hasn't wanted to take too harsh a stance on his son, but Prince William isn't of the same line of thinking. King Charles has, so far, not taken any steps that might be hard for William to come back from when he is King.

They also, necessarily, involve their three kids: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. All of this comes amid reports that King Charles' cancer is reportedly incurable, but manageable. Royal writer and associate editor of the Daily Telegraph, Camilla Tominey wrote, 'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program.' This presumably ties into how William and Kate are preparing their kids going forward. It all started with the trio making their first appearance of summer 2025 at Trooping the Colour. The family then posted a picture of all of them on Instagram. On Father's Day, another picture was shared, now of the kids with their father, Prince William. Royal expert and author Robert Jobson discussed the preparations with Hello! magazine. 'It's all about William now, and him preparing Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis for their future roles in the next decade or so,' Jobson told the outlet. 'William takes his responsibilities to the institution, to his father, to his family, very seriously. You see that in the way he looks and the way he acts. He has grown into the role of supporting his father and being a King in waiting.' This reportedly includes the understanding that Prince George has a different burden to bear than his siblings, as the firstborn. That's reportedly why, on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Prince George attended a tea party for veterans with his parents. His siblings were not present. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror, about it. '[It] may be the only opportunity George will ever have of speaking to men and women who served their King and country during the war.' She added, 'It's a lesson that will serve him well in the future…One day he will be Chief of the Armed Forces himself, and he may well look back at some of those conversations and be glad that he had the chance to meet some of the few remaining veterans.' There have been many reports about Prince William's intention to scale down the monarchy. That means that, in the years to come, his three kids will likely play big roles in what the monarchy will look like in the future. And they're already being trained for it.

Princess Anne Is Making King Charles Face the ‘Devastating Reality' of His ‘Incurable' Cancer
Princess Anne is giving her older brother, King Charles, a good talk. The Princess Royal is advocating for King Charles to reconnect with his son, Prince Harry after the Duke pleaded for reconciliation. 'The news that her beloved brother's cancer is incurable has forced her to face a devastating reality – there's a sense of urgency and time's running out,' a source dished to Woman's Day. In a bombshell BBC interview, Prince Harry wanted to make things up with his father after he confessed, 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has.' More from StyleCaster Charles Just Took a Side in Andrew & William's Feud Amid Reports His Son Wants His 'Disgraced' Uncle to 'Vanish' From the Family King Charles Death 'Rehearsals' Already Underway Amid Reports His Cancer Was Found 'Incurable' Princess Anne is said to be a sound ear for her brother and is placing ultimatums in front of him. 'As tough as it's been, Anne and Charles have been having serious discussions about his final wishes, all of which she has every intention of keeping – and it's Anne that's urging the King to pursue one in particular that right now appears to be impossible – finding a way to end this out-of-control feud between his sons, even if it's not in his lifetime.'It's no secret that Charles and Anne's trust goes beyond their royal duties. 'Both of them have had nothing but respect and affection for her from the day they were toddlers,' the source continued. 'Anne's pragmatic, no-drama approach, which not unlike their late father's, Prince Philip, is a potential bridge to reconcile Harry and William.' Royal insider Camilla Tominey previously reported that King Charles' cancer is incurable after he allegedly refused treatment. 'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program,' she revealed in The Telegraph. She also confirmed that King Charles' 80th anniversary plans in 2028 are 'tentative' due to his ailing health. However, a royal aide said King Charles's health is on the up. He is dealing 'incredibly well' with cancer, the anonymous insider told The Telegraph. 'The thing you learn about this illness is that you just manage it and that's what he does. Medical science has made incredible advances and I genuinely see no difference in him. As long as you just do what the doctors say, just live your life as normal as possible… that's exactly what he is doing.' No matter what happens to the current Monarch, it doesn't seem like William will back down from his feud with his brother. 'It's no secret William wants Harry more harshly dealt with. He thinks he has betrayed the family from top to bottom, which is the ultimate Windsor crime. It wouldn't take much to provoke him to flex his muscles when he is king,' a palace insider told The Daily Beast.
