Prince William stars in sweet new photos with his 3 kids

The  Prince of Wales  was surrounded by his children in new photos to mark Father’s Day. On the eve of the holiday, Kensington Palace released a snapshot of Prince William sitting on a bench between  Prince George  and  Princess Charlotte , who were pictured gazing adoringly at their father. Meanwhile, cheeky  Prince Louis  stood behind Prince William with his arms wrapped around his dad’s neck.

The Prince and his three kids coordinated in blue for the sweet photo, which was taken by portrait photographer Millie Pilkington on the Windsor Estate earlier this year. By the looks of Louis’ jumper, the picture appears to have been taken at the same time as the photos that were released to celebrate the young Prince’s fifth birthday in April.

An additional photo of William and his children was released on Sunday, June 18. The image shows the royal dad of three with his arms around George and Charlotte, and Louis seated on his lap. “Happy Father’s Day ❤️,” the Waleses’ Instagram account captioned the two pictures.

The royal family’s official social media accounts also commemorated Father’s Day with pictures of  King Charles III  with his late father,  Prince Philip , as well as one of the monarch with his two sons, Prince William and  Prince Harry . The caption alongside the post reads, “To Dads everywhere, we wish you a special Father’s Day today.”
