Royal family members Prince William and Duchess Kate release their annual Christmas card
Prince William and Princess Kate have unveiled their annual family Christmas card.
Prince William’s family has more than one reason to celebrate him on Father’s Day this year.
The Prince of Wales is not only celebrating Father’s Day on June 21st, but also his 44th birthday. To celebrate, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account shared a cute new photo of Prince William posing with his daughter Princess Charlotte.
The photo appears to have been taken on the same day as Charles III’s official birthday, Trooping the Color, which took place on June 13th. Prince William, his wife Princess Kate, and their children Prince George (12), Princess Charlotte (11), and Prince Louis (8) were also in attendance.
In the photo shared on Father’s Day, Prince William was seen in his uniform, while Prince Charlotte was wearing a white dress.
The Instagram post’s caption read, “Happy Birthday and Father’s Day to the world’s best dad! We love you so much,” and was signed with “C, G, C&L,” meaning Duchess Kate, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Meanwhile, the royal family’s official Instagram account celebrated Father’s Day by publishing an old photo of Prince Charles, who passed away in 2021, standing next to his father, Prince Philip. “Today we celebrate all fathers and think of those who wish they could be with their fathers,” the post reads. The family also shared recent photos of William and Charles on their Instagram Stories and wished William a happy birthday.
In 2025, William’s family shared adorable before-and-after photos of him and his children to celebrate Father’s Day. The first photo showed the four of them standing together, and the second photo showed them lying on the ground and smiling. And in 2024, Prince William commemorated the occasion with a photo of him posing on the beach with his children, dressed casually in a hoodie, shorts and a ball cap. The photo from that year was taken by Kate herself. The family wrote, “Dad, we love you.”
