Saturday at the parade for the return to public of the mother, Sunday the debut on Instagram for the father. George, Charlotte and Louis are from behind but unmistakable. Hug William to wish him happy Father’s Day (which was celebrated yesterday in the UK). Evidence of normality at the Windsor house. Despite the fact that among them there are the future heirs to the throne of England, despite the horrendous scare of Kate’s illness. They want to be like everyone else and stop being afraid. “We love you dad” is the very simple phrase accompanying their first post on social media made from William and Kate’s account. The BBC reported it yesterday.
Saying that the princes’ post read: «We love you dad. Happy Father’s Day”, followed by two red hearts and signed with the initials “G, C & L” and, of course, the photo of William together with his three little children. In the shot, which was taken by the Princess of Wales, her husband is standing on a beach hugging his three children, while they are all intent on looking at the sea.
Kensington Palace said the photo was taken by Kate Middleton last month during a trip to the Norfolk coast. William also wanted to pay homage to his father, King Charles III, and published a photo taken from the family archive: the prince shared an image of himself as a child on Instagram, taken in 1984, while playing football with the king in Kensington Palace Gardens. “Happy Father’s Day, Pa. W,” reads the post accompanying the photo.
Just the day before, for the Trooping The Color parade, Kate had reappeared before her subjects for the first time in seven months and had appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional greeting of the British royals. Since the announcement of her illness, fears and hypotheses have been circulating about the Princess of Wales regarding her state of health. And, in fact, Saturday was also the return of King Charles, who was himself absent to be treated for cancer. The country, and beyond, welcomed the return of both, especially Kate, with great enthusiasm and relief.
The news of his return to public had reached Pugli while the G7 was still underway. And British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said at a press conference: «The whole country is with you. She deserves high praise. I can’t wait to see her.”
