Prince William and the Wales Kids Are All Smiles in Adorable Father’s Day Photo

Prince William and his children have shared this year’s lovely Father’s Day photo.

The Prince of Wales marked this year’s holiday with an adorable photo of himself and his kids: Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5. Taken by Millie Pilkington earlier this year, the pic shows the family wearing bright smiles as they pose, with George and Charlotte looking up at their father and young Louis wrapping his arms over William's shoulders.

The photo appears to have been taken on the Windsor estate the same day as the portrait shoot for Louis’s fifth birthday. The new pic also includes a special touch honoring the late Queen Elizabeth II, as the Wales family sits on a bench that was a gift for the monarch’s 90th birthday in 2016, per People.

The family coordinated in blue ensembles for the sweet pic. While William wears a simple light blue buttoned shirt and trousers, George pairs a checkered shirt with jeans. Meanwhile, Charlotte layers a white cardigan over a blue daisy-print dress, and Louis wears a big grin along with his cozy blue sweater.

The Father’s Day pic was released just hours after this year’s Trooping the Colour, which marked King Charles III’s first official birthday celebration as sovereign. While William took part in the parade on horseback, Princess Kate and the three children rode in the carriage procession alongside Queen Camilla, before the family reunited for a balcony appearance.

For the occasion, Kate wore a gorgeous bright green ensemble that included homages to both the late Princess of Wales, Diana, and to Kate’s new titles, including her role as honorary colonel of the Irish Guards. The family color scheme also honored the red-and-green flag of Wales, with each of the children including red embellishments in their outfits.
