Many fans wished William a happy birthday in the comments and praised the sweet photo of him and his Father. One comment read, "This photo isn't about being royal. This photo is depicting the love between a son and his Father." Another fan wrote, "Happy Birthday to the Prince of Wales. Keep on shining William."
He's Had Multiple Royal Engagements Recently
Prince William has had a booked and busy Royal calendar for the past few weeks. There was first the Trooping the Colour parade for King Charles' birthday, then Father's Day with his kids a few days later.
William also recently met with the England stars as they're preparing for the upcoming World Cup in New Zealand and Australia. The team won the trophy for Euros in 2022 and is a good contender for Down Under against the USA, who are the four-time champions.
As the current President of the Football Association, William was friendly with the team. He shared a hug with captain Leah Williamson, laughed with goalkeeper Mary Earps, and spoke at length with Jill Scott.
William has previously praised the team for their extensive achievements. He noted that their summer is going to be very "exciting" and wished the team well. Last year, William was also present at the Euro 2022 finals to present the Lionesses team with their trophy.

William's visit to the England stars was the start of his busy week, which included a Father's Day tribute. His official Instagram account shared gorgeous photos of the Prince and his three children surrounding him.
In the photo, William posed with nine-year-old George, eight-year-old Charlotte, and five-year-old Louis. All three children smiled brightly at the camera with their Father as they held onto each other. George wore an outfit similar to William's, while Charlotte wore a pretty floral dress by Rachel Riley London.
The photo was taken earlier this year by photographer Millie Pilkington on the family's Windsor Estate. At the time, Pilkington also took photos of Louis for his April birthday, which included a shot of him being pushed by his mother Princess Kate. The Royal Family also posted these pictures on social media.
Prince William Discusses His Homelessness Project
During a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Prince William spoke about his plans for solving homelessness. He said he's working on a "really big project" that will help end homelessness completely in Britain.
William talked about building homes for the public on the 130,000-acre property under his estate as Prince of Wales. He said, per ITV, "It's nerve-racking. But I'm really excited. I've been waiting for the right time to do this."
In a reaction message to William's plans, Crisis chief executive Matt Downie praised the idea. He said, "We look forward to working together to create a country where everybody can enjoy the basic right of a good home."
