King Charles III marked Father’s Day by paying tribute to his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. The monarch’s social media team shared three touching photos on Instagram to celebrate the occasion. One of the pictures was a heartwarming photograph of King Charles enjoying a light-hearted moment with his late father, Prince Philip. The other two pictures included a photograph of Queen Camilla’s late father, Bruce Shand, and a wholesome snapshot of King Charles enjoying a hike on the Balmoral Estate with a young Prince Harry and Prince William. In the photo, King Charles is wearing a lime-green Scottish kilt, knee-high green socks, and a matching green jumper. Prince Harry and Prince William twinned in blue shirts and stone-hued trousers. The photograph captured a precious bonding moment between the royals, highlighting King Charles’s sweet father-son relationship with both Prince Harry and Prince William.
Birthday Parade at Trooping the Colour
King Charles’s sweet pictorial tribute to his sons comes after he celebrated his birthday parade at Trooping the Colour. The milestone occasion marked the first time a monarch has ridden on horseback since the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1986. King Charles looked smart in his military red uniform, wearing the tunic of the Guard of Honour Order, the Welsh Guards, alongside the cypher of Queen Elizabeth II. He was joined in the parade by Princess Anne, the Senior Colonel of the Household Division, and the Prince of Wales. For the first time, the Duke of Edinburgh also attended the parade. Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were also in attendance. Camilla and Kate attended the event for the first time in their new military roles, which they took on back in December 2022. Camilla is Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, while Kate is Colonel of the Irish Guards. Both royal ladies opted to wear majestic Trooping outfits to reflect their all-important military roles. The Queen exuded elegance in a red silk coat dress by Fiona Clare Aldridge, which took inspiration from the Grenadier Guards’ uniform. Meanwhile, Princess Kate looked regal in a vibrant, emerald-green coat dress crafted by Paris-based designer, Andrew Gn.
