King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, took to social media with three photographs celebrating Father’s Day.
One of the pictures showed Charles with his late father Prince Philip, another showed Camilla with her late father Bruce Shand, and a third showed Charles with his two sons, William and Harry.
King Charles captioned the photo saying: “To Dads everywhere, we wish you a special Father’s Day today.”
The picture with William and Harry was taken on August 16, 1997, which was just over two weeks before Princess Diana’s tragic death in Paris on August 31.
At the time, William and Harry were staying with their father and the late Queen and Prince Philip in Balmoral Castle while Diana was on holiday with her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, who also died in the tragic car accident.
