The Prince of Wales looked very much like the doting father in a new family photo which was released to mark Father's Day on Sunday.
In a candid new picture, shared by Kensington Palace hours after Trooping the Colour, Prince William was seen posing alongside his three children; Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis.
The sweet portrait, taken in Norfolk last month by Princess Kate, shows Prince William and his children admiring the Norfolk coastline with their arms wrapped around each other. William could be seen wearing khaki shorts and a navy jumper, while George, Charlotte and Louis looked sweet wearing matching blue tops.
Alongside the photo, a message from Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis read: "We love you, Papa. Happy Father's Day G, C & L."
It marked the first time a message from the royal trio has been shared on Prince William and Princess Kate's social media channels.
The Prince of Wales also shared a photo of him playing football with the King. The photo of William and King Charles together in the gardens of Kensington Palace was taken on June 12 1984.

On the day before, the dad-of-three will attend England's second Euro 2024 match as they face Denmark at the Frankfurt Arena in Germany on 20 June.
However, it has also been an unsettling time for the Wales family of late, with Princess Kate receiving preventative chemotherapy.

The Princess underwent major abdominal surgery in January, and she later revealed during an emotional video message in March that post-operative tests showed that cancer had been present.
Her husband Prince William has been determined to make his family a priority, now more than ever, and is fitting in royal visits and engagements around the school day.
