The King shared an adorable baby photograph to mark the Prince of Wales's 42nd birthday on Friday.
The black and white portrait taken in 1982 shows the little Prince smiling and sitting on his father's lap as then Prince Charles beams affectionately at his son.
"Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!" the caption read.

It comes just days after Prince William posted a childhood snap with Charles to mark Father's Day last Sunday.
"Happy Father's Day, Pa," the social media post, personally signed by William, said.
Kensington Palace also released a picture of William with his three children on a beach in Norfolk, taken by the Princess of Wales.

All about Prince William
Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales was born second in line to the throne at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, at 9.03pm on 21 June 1982.
He weighed 7lb 1 1/2oz and was the first-born son of the then-Prince and the Princess of Wales.

His mother, Diana, Princess of Wales tragically died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 when William was 15 and his brother Harry was 12, with the young princes walking behind her coffin during her funeral procession.

They welcomed their first child Prince George in 2013, followed by Princess Charlotte in 2015, and then Prince Louis in 2018.
