Soon afterwards, Kensington Palace posted a new photograph of the Prince of Wales, with his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The snap was taken by Princess Kate in Norfolk last month.
The group, dressed in casual attire, look jubilant as they appear to be jumping up in the air while holding hands against a coastal setting.
Its caption read: “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx”.
This is the second time the Wales children share a message on social media, with the first posted just last weekend, when they wished William a happy Father’s Day.
