Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis recently reached a significant milestone, reflecting their increasing maturity, according to a royal correspondent.
The trio, aged 10, 9, and 6 respectively, shared a touching photo on Instagram with their father, Prince William, to commemorate Father’s Day.
In their inaugural social media post, they penned a sweet message expressing their affection, saying, “We love you, Papa.
Welcome to Royal Pancakes.”
Rebecca English, in a column for Mail Online, noted that the children’s gesture aimed to show support for William during what has been a challenging period for the family.
This public display of affection marks the first time the young royals have communicated directly with a global audience, underscoring their growing maturity within the royal household.
The photograph, signed “The Princess of Wales, 2024,” indicated that the image was captured by Kate Middleton in Norfolk, where the family often retreats to their residence, Anmer Hall, during school breaks.
The timing of the post coincided with Prince Charles receiving a Father’s Day tribute from William, accompanied by a throwback picture of the duo playing football in 1982.
Over the weekend, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their three children, attended Trooping the Colour, signaling Kate’s public reemergence after undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
Kate looked stunning in a Jenny Packham dress and Philip Treacy hat, while William displayed his patriotic spirit by singing along to the national anthem at an England–Euros game in Germany.
Despite missing the Royal Ascot to attend the match solo, William’s enthusiastic support for the England team was evident as he applauded alongside other spectators.
His absence from the event was due to Kate’s ongoing recovery from cancer treatment, emphasizing that her appearance at Trooping the Colour should not be misconstrued as a return to official duties.
As President of the Football Association, William’s dedication to supporting sports has occasionally drawn criticism, such as when he missed the Women’s World Cup final in Australia last year.
Although he expressed regret for not being physically present, William commended the team’s achievements and the inspiration they provided to fans worldwide.
In a heartwarming video featuring Princess Charlotte, the Prince conveyed his pride in the Lionesses’ accomplishments and the positive impact they had on audiences globally.
Notably, Spanish royalty, including Queen Letizia, attended the final match in Australia, showcasing international support for women’s football.
