Prince Charles has shown off Prince William's close bond with his stepmother Duchess Camilla in a touching tribute shared in honour of his birthday.
- Prince William celebrated his 39th birthday on June 21st and Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla shared an adorable tribute to the future king.
- Royal fans were quick to notice the wonderful bond between stepmother and stepson which was revealed by a particularly adorable photograph.
- This royal news comes as the ’emotional’ change that led to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bombshell Oprah chat was revealed.
Prince William’s wonderful bond with Duchess Camilla shines through in her and Prince Charles’ sweet birthday tribute to him and fans couldn’t be more excited. The Duke of Cambridge turned 39 on June 21, just days after the Queen marked the second of her two birthdays in a beautiful grey outfit at Trooping the Colour.
William, who is second in line to the throne, has recently shared a rare photo of himself with his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis for Father’s Day. The picture was taken behind-the-scenes at Trooping the Colour 2019 and showcases the amazing bond between the Cambridge kids and their father.
Now Prince Charles has shared an equally heart-warming family photo. And this time it’s William and Duchess Camilla’s close relationship that has captured fans’ imaginations.
In honour of William’s birthday, the official Clarence House social media accounts posted two sweet snaps - one of baby William and Charles and another of them, alongside Duchess Camilla. This second picture is understood to have been taken at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games in 2014.
In it, Camilla and William sit next to each other and are clearly enjoying each other’s company, smiling at one another, with Charles joining in.
William and Camilla’s joyful exchange is something captured in other photographs taken from this significant event, with many pictures showing them laughing warmly together.
