Thousands react as Prince William, Kate's children pay tribute to their father

Prince William and Kate Middleton's children on Sunday shared a touching personal message to their father to mark Father's Day.

The tribute came a day after Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis joined other members of the Royal Family to celebrate King Charles’ official birthday celebrations at Trooping the Colour.

Prince William and Princess Kate's three children personally signed off the statement which accompanied two pictures of the trio.

“Happy Father’s Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L,” they wrote.

George, Charlotte and Louis children signed off the post with their first name initials.

In the first image, they could be seen posing with William with his arms around them.

 The second, posted in black and white, showed the three children embracing their father as they rolled around amongst long grass and daffodils

According to GB News, the pictures had been taken earlier this year in Norfolk by the photographer Josh Shinner.

More than half a million people liked the pictures and hundreds others expressed love for the royal family in the comments section within a couple of hours after they were shared on Instagram.
