The Queen shares touching childhood snap of Prince Charles as she joins Kate and William to wish him happy birthday
THE Queen has joined members of the royal family to wish Prince Charles a happy 72nd birthday today.
Her Majesty’s official Instagram account shared a sweet throwback snap of the Prince of Wales when he was just a baby to mark the occasion.
In the black and white snap, the monarch, then 22, is seen sat with her first born on her lap.
The photo was accompanied by a second image of the mother and son sharing a joke at the Braemer Highland Games in 2016.
The post was captioned: “🎈🎂 Wishing The Prince of Wales a very happy birthday today!”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have also shared their well-wishes with the Prince today.
Prince William and Kate Middleton posted a photo of Charles mid laugh while dressed in a cream blazer and his military accolades.
Captioning the post, the couple wrote: “Wishing a very Happy Birthday to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales! 🎂”
Prince Harry did not publicly wish his father a happy birthday as he and Meghan Markle closed their Sussex Royal Instagram account in March.
However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are likely to have sent their birthday wishes privately.
