Prince William pays homage to King Charles on Father’s Day with a vintage photo from 1984, a few months before his brother was born. In the photo also a sign of good wishes to the English national football team, today engaged in their debut at the European Championships.
The Prince William posted a photo of him and his father, King Charles, while playing football on Father’s Day. In the photograph, which was posted on the Duke of Cambridge’s social media pages, the then very young prince smiles while he and the future monarch are in the garden.
The shot of the two future kings dates back to 12 June 1984 in the gardens of Kensington Palace. This is precisely the year in which Harry, the future Duke of Sussex and the cause of family tribulations in recent years due to his decision to separate his destiny from that of the royal family, would have been born. A choice that inevitably also affected the relationships between William and Harry, who had always appeared in harmony with each other. While one has abandoned the family fortunes, the other, the eldest son, is destined to succeed his father as sovereign.
The start of the European Championships for England
In addition to celebrating Father’s Day, the football-themed image is most likely a tribute to England’s opening match at the European Championships, which will take place on 16 June, Father’s Day. For the Three Lions national team that of Euro 2024 represents an opportunity for redemption after the disappointment of 2021, when the team was defeated at home, in the Wmbley stadium, by the Italian national team led by Roberto Macini. In the first match England will challenge Serbia.

Kate Middleton’s public return
At the same time it should be remembered that in the last few hours the family celebrated an important moment, given that there was Kate Middleton’s first public appearance after the announcement of her cancer diagnosis. Also with her and her husband were their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, the youngest of whom is no stranger to the spotlight of such events.
