Last updated 20th Jun 2022
Heartwarming family photos have been released to mark Father's Day, showing senior royals through the ages.
The Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William have all shared snaps on their official Twitter accounts, with warm wishes to other fathers and grandfathers.
They include a beaming picture of the Duke of Cambridge with his arms round Prince George and Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis sitting on his shoulder.
Kensington Palace says the photograph was taken during a family holiday in Jordan in 2021, against a rocky, sand-coloured backdrop.
All the children, aged eight, seven and four, have cheeky grins, with the Duke and his eldest son wearing casual, khaki-coloured outfits and the younger pair dressed in navy and white tops.
Meanwhile, the Royal Family official Twitter account shared a photograph of a young Queen smiling as she stands in a garden facing her father, King George VI, in 1946.
The monarch is wearing a long, patterned summer dress while her father, who died in 1952, sports a suit and tie.
It was shared with the words: "Wishing all of our followers a very happy Father’s Day".
Prince Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, shared three family photographs with the words: "Wishing everyone a very happy Father’s Day".
The first is a black-and-white image of the prince in high spirits with his father, the Duke of Edinburgh, dressed in military uniform.
A second image shows Charles wearing knee-high red socks and a kilt, lying on a lawn, with William and Harry as children.
A young William is wearing a white shirt and has his arm around his father, while Harry is sporting a green sweater and matching green wellies as he leans on Charles.
Another image shows a formally-dressed Camilla linking arms with her father, Major Bruce Shand, at Clarence House.
In Kate and William’s photograph, the children appear in high spirits, reminiscent of Louis’ mischievous antics at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which won the hearts of the nation.
The young prince pulled faces as he sat on the laps of members of his family to watch the show.
He let out a howl and clapped his hands over his ears on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the RAF flypast on Thursday June 2nd, as his "Gan Gan", the Queen, told him what was happening.
The Cambridges also used a photograph from Jordan for their official Christmas 2021 card.
The image showed William sitting on a gold pouffe next to Kate, with the two eldest children next to them, while Louis sat on what appeared to be a sheepskin rug at his mother's feet.
