King Charles has paid tribute to his late father, the Duke of Edinburgh, on Father’s Day by sharing a throwback photo of the father and son.

The snap shows Prince Philip proudly standing beside his son, Charles, as he receives his wings at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire on August 20, 1971. The Duke was Marshal of the Royal Air Force at the time, an honour that Queen Elizabeth II later bestowed on her oldest son.

A message accompanying the photo read: “Celebrating all Fathers, and thinking of those who wish they could be with their Dads, today.”

Royal fans were quick to comment on the photo and wish the King a Happy Father’s Day. He has two sons, Prince William, 44, and Prince Harry, 41.

One person wrote: “Happy Father’s Day, Your Majesty. I know your late father would have been so very proud of you today.”

Another said: “Beautiful photo, Happy fathers day.” While a third user wrote: “Happy fathers day King Charles.”

The King spent some time in the Royal Air Force before embarking on a career in the Royal Navy.

PRINCE HARRY MAY BE OFFERED A ROOM AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE WHEN HE RETURNS TO BRITAIN IN SEPTEMBER — BUT A BRUTAL NEW POLL SUGGESTS THE PUBLIC BELIEVES KING CHARLES’S OLIVE BRANCH HAS ALREADY GONE TOO FAR More than 5,000 readers voted against allowing the Duke of Sussex to stay inside the Palace, while fewer than 400 supported the idea. The backlash comes after Harry reportedly missed a similar opportunity during his latest visit by accepting the invitation too late and being forced to find alternative accommodation. Charles’s gesture could represent a significant step towards repairing their fractured relationship. Yet the overwhelming response suggests many Britons are prepared to accept a private reunion between father and son — but draw a firm line at welcoming Harry back into the symbolic heart of the monarchy.

Rather than allowing the turmoil surrounding their parents’ separation to dominate their childhood, Fergie kept creating moments of excitement, warmth and normality. Looking back as a mother herself, Beatrice praised the resilience and individuality Sarah passed on to both daughters — before making one emotional admission about why she now feels fortunate to “share” her mother with the wider world.

But a newly revealed household rule offers a rare insight into how Meghan manages one particularly sensitive part of the children’s lives. What may sound excessive to outsiders appears non-negotiable for the Duchess, especially after years of intense attention surrounding the Sussex family. The rule also explains why certain moments involving Archie and Lilibet are handled very differently from those of other royal children.
