The photo shows William holding hands Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, And Prince George as the foursome jumped over dunes covered in beach grass. On Sunday, the couple’s social media accounts shared another photo from the same May trip to Holkham Beach on the Norfolk coast in honor of Father’s Day. Holkham is half an hour’s drive from Anmer Hall, William and Kate’s country house on the Sandringham Estate. The family have been spotted walking their dogs there in the past and the late Queen Elizabeth II is said to have visited the beach via a private entrance on the estate of Thomas Coke, Eighth Earl of Leicester.
Although Kate suffered a photo mishap earlier this year when a confusingly edited family photo went viral, this pair of photos shows the princess is back behind the camera. Her birthday tribute to William even received praise from Millie Pilkington, one of the photographers took the family’s official portraits. “What an amazing portrait,” Pilkington said on Instagram, along with a few heart emojis. “Wonderful father and beautiful children. Mom was pretty awesome too.”
On Saturday, Kate made her first public appearance since Christmas when she attended Trooping the Colour, the birthday parade in London in honor of King Charles III. When announcing that she would attend, she shared a statement in which she discussed the progress she has made since being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, despite although she added that her treatment will continue for several more months.
“On days when I feel well enough, it’s fun to participate in school life, spend personal time on things that give me energy and positivity, and start doing a small amount of work at home. “I’m looking forward to attending the King’s birthday parade this weekend with my family and hopefully taking part in some public activities over the summer, but also know that I’m not out of the woods yet.”
