Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, expressed her love for her husband, Prince William, on his 42nd birthday with a touching nine-word message.

The royal couple shared a special moment captured in a new photograph released by Kensington Palace, showcasing Prince William with their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

In the snapshot, the family is seen joyfully leaping into the air against a picturesque coastal backdrop.

The photo, taken by Princess Kate herself, features a sweet caption from her, saying, “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much.”

This gesture not only highlights the affection within the royal family but also showcases Kate’s skillful photography in capturing such a dynamic and heartwarming moment.

The image stands out for its relaxed and fun style, deviating from the traditional royal portraits.

As Prince William celebrates his special day, he is expected to enjoy a private celebration with his loved ones.

Born on June 21, 1982, at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, William Arthur Philip Louis weighed 7lbs 1.5oz and was the first son of King Charles and the late Princess Diana.

To commemorate his birthday, King Charles took to the royal family’s social media accounts earlier today, sharing an endearing throwback picture of himself cradling baby William with a beaming smile.

The black and white photograph, dated February 1, 1983, captures a tender moment between father and son at Kensington Palace in London.

Prince William, who currently serves as the President of the FA, recently made headlines as he attended the Euro 2024 match between England and Denmark in Frankfurt, Germany.

Alongside Denmark’s King Frederick, William witnessed an intense game that ended in a 1-1 draw.

Adding to his eventful week, Prince William joined his wife Kate Middleton’s parents, Carol and Michael Middleton, at the prestigious Royal Ascot.
