George, Charlotte and Louis issue first ever royal statement with sweet Father's Day photo

Princes George and Louis along with sister Princess Charlotte have conveyed a touching Father's Day message in an unprecedented Royal gesture.

Collectively, the siblings sent their greetings to father Prince William, the next in line for the throne. A picture of the jolly quartet, captured in Norfolk last month, accompanied the message shared via their family's official social media platforms.

It was a first today when a post signed by the Royal children was shared from their channels this morning. Consolidating all the Royal love on Twitter: "We love you, Papa. Happy Father's Day." it read, followed by a signature saying "G, C & L."

Several Royal enthusiasts responded warmly to the snap, reports the Mirror. One commenter highlighted: "The sweetest picture ever, Happy Father's Day William, thank you for sharing this lovely picture with us. As usual, The Princess takes the best pictures of her family."

Another chimed in: "Love this. Great photo. My father was also my Papa. Much missed." Others opined: "You have such a beautiful family Prince William, enjoy them and your day."

The heartfelt note from the kids followed close on the heels of a sentimental tribute to the King posted by their own father Prince William, who unveiled his fond pet name for the reigning monarch.

The Prince of Wales affirmed "Happy Father's Day, Pa. W" in a social media publication attached with an endearing photograph of young William, standing next to the man slated for kingship, foot at the ready near a mini football.

The photograph was captured on 12th June 1984, in the Kensington Palace gardens when William was not yet two years old. Later that year, he would welcome a younger brother, as Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was born in September.

This comes a day after the Royal Family thrilled millions at the Trooping the Colour ceremony. While the King saluted at the Horse Guards Parade, Kate and the children watched from a balcony above, marking her return to Royal duties.

Prince Louis once again became the centre of attention, but luckily his older sister Charlotte was there to keep him in line during the ceremony. Royal enthusiasts were overjoyed on Friday when Princess Kate, aged 42, announced at the last minute that she would be attending the Trooping the Colour with her three children.

Once they arrived at the parade, Princess Kate and her children observed from a balcony. Louis was spotted playing with a blind cord as the event progressed.

However, instead of causing chaos, Charlotte seemed to remind Louis who was in charge on the balcony, instructing him to stand upright while the national anthem played.
