Prince William: King Charles and family send Royals mark Prince William's birthday by sharing photo

King Charles and Queen Camilla have marked Prince William’s birthday by sharing a photo of the royal on the Royal Family’s Instagram and X profiles.

The monarch, 76, and wife Camilla, 77, posted the snap of the future king kneeling in a field on Saturday as William turned 43, with the image also shared earlier this year during his visit to farmland owned by the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath.

Charles and Camilla captioned the snap, which showed William smiling as he sat on a rock wall: “Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!”

The caption was followed by a balloon and confetti emoji to mark the celebration.

William has also marked his 43rd birthday with a furry celebration - posing for a new photograph alongside four black cocker spaniel puppies.

“It’s a very happy birthday,” he said in a caption alongside a snap of him with his pets posted on his and wife Catherine’s Instagram page.

He added: “Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies.”

The photograph, taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, earlier this month at Windsor, was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official social media accounts on Friday morning.

It showed the Prince of Wales surrounded by the playful pups, who were revealed last month by The Sun to be the offspring of the family’s pet spaniel Orla.

The photo was posted with a caption featuring the initials of the couple’s children - Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six - along with Orla.

The new additions to the royal household were born earlier this year, although their names - and the identity of their father - have not yet been revealed.

According to The Sun, Orla, who joined the family in 2020, was originally a gift from Catherine’s brother James Middleton, 37, a dog breeder who also bred their late dog Lupo and Orla’s parents.

A source told The Sun at the time: “Mother and babies are doing well.”

The couple’s children are said to have quickly bonded with the puppies.

Last year, the Royal Family marked William’s birthday by posting a childhood photo of the royal in his father’s arms.

Catherine also shared a personal image at the time showing William enjoying time on a beach with their children.

The birthday celebration comes amid Catherine’s ongoing return to public life following her cancer diagnosis.

She recently pulled out of her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot, with Kensington Palace confirming her recovery remains the priority.
