KING Charles has wished his son Prince William a happy 43rd birthday.
The monarch and Queen Camilla shared a sweet unseen photograph of his eldest son to mark the special occasion today.
It was captioned: “Happy Birthday to the Prince of Wales!”.
King Charles shared the image, of Wills sitting against a countryside backdrop, on the official Royal Family Instagram platform.
This comes after Prince William was spotted putting on a brave face in Princess Kate’s absence at Royal Ascot this week.
The dad-of-three appeared relaxed as he drank beer and joked with fellow royals.
He was seen greeting others in the grandstand and cheering on horses and jockeys during a sunny day two of racing.
Other royals in attendance at this year’s Ascot included King Charles and Queen Camilla, who were spotted cheering on from the Royal Box, and Sarah Ferguson, alongside her daughter Princess Beatrice.
