Fun beach photo released for Prince William’s birthday

The Prince of Wales has been pictured leaping in the air with his children at a beach, in a photo released to mark his 42nd birthday.

The picture was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media channels.

“Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!” reads an accompanying message from Catherine.

It was released days after a similar picture was posted alongside a Father’s Day tribute from Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

That photo was taken during a trip to the Norfolk coast last month.

It was not immediately clear if the latest picture was also taken in Norfolk.

The release of a new photo of Prince William on Friday comes a day after he was pictured alongside Denmark’s King Frederick in the German city of Frankfurt.

The prince was in the city to watch England in their second match of the Euro 2024 football competition, in which they drew 1-1 with Denmark.
