Prince William released a sweet new picture with his children in honour of Father’s Day on June 16 – here’s some things you may have missed in the adorable shot.
Prince William posed alongside his three young children for a picture that was posted to mark Father’s Day this weekend.
The image, which is said to have been taken last month, shows all four of them facing away from the camera and looking out at the blue sky and sea in Norfolk – which sparked general interest.
The idea of the royals turning away from the photographer speaks to the “intimacy” of the family, according to one body language expert.
Despite some interest in the nature of their poses, royal fans were delighted by the release, with many describing it as “beautiful” and a “lovely photo”.
Here Express.co.uk looks at three things you may have missed from the sweet new family picture.
The children were behind it
George, Charlotte and Louis made a royal first on Sunday as they shared a personalised message for Father’s Day.
Instead of a generic Father’s Day that has come in previous years, the message was signed off with the children’s initials – something that is often done by both William and their mother, the Princess of Wales.
The sweet but simple message read: “We love you, Papa. Happy Father’s Day [pink-heart emoji] G, C & L.”
William undoubtedly shares a sweet bond with his three little ones, with their closeness displayed at many royal appearances – such as Trooping the Colour on Saturday.
