Today, the Prince of Wales celebrates his 41st birthday, and his father, King Charles III, has marked the occasion with a sweet throwback photo on Instagram. The candid photo shows the monarch and his eldest son laughing together during Charles’s coronation earlier this year. In the shot, the Prince is dressed in his signature navy suit, and appears to be tying his father’s golden robe.
William was present at the historic coronation ceremony, and pledged his loyalty to his father in a traditional speech called the homage of royal blood. It is unclear how he will be celebrating his big day today, but it comes after a busy week for the royal, who recently visited St George’s Park to meet with the Lionesses football team ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. He also celebrated Father’s Day with his wife, Princess Catherine, and their three children.
Kate has been keeping busy with her own engagements, having most recently attended the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery in London. It is clear that the Royal Family is always on the go, but they never forget to make time for each other and to celebrate special occasions. It is heartwarming to see such a close family bond, and we wish the Prince of Wales a very happy birthday!
