Prince William marked this year's Father's Day in the UK by sharing a childhood photo with his father, King Charles III. In the picture posted on social media, young William and his dad are seen playing outside with a ball. William captioned the image with "Happy Father’s Day, Pa. W."
Additionally, William and Catherine's children - George, Charlotte, and Louis - paid tribute to their father through their parents' Instagram account. They shared a photo of themselves with their dad at the beach, along with a message saying, "We love you, Papa. Happy Father’s Day. G, C & L."
The photo was taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales, according to the Instagram caption.
This Father’s Day holds special significance as it comes amidst health challenges for both King Charles and Catherine. The King, 75, has been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer but resumed his public duties in April. Catherine, 42, recently attended her first public event since her cancer diagnosis.
In royal tradition, Father’s Day follows the King's birthday celebrations, where the royal family gathers at Buckingham Palace. The occasion was marked by the King’s public appearance despite his ongoing treatment.
