Trooping of the Colour

I think she took it, but I could be wrong. As it was for Fathers day, it was appropriate for Catherine not to be in it. Just the three children, George,Charlotte and Louis with their arms round their Papa telling him how much they love him.

The photograph of Charles and William, is this seen as a warning for the future ?

What on earth do you mean Anniebach ?

The photo of William and the children was taken by Catherine, she could hardly be in it herself. It was just a lovely picture for Father’s Day.

And William chose to show one of him with his father, Charles, as a tribute to FD.

Nothing sinister about either of them. Crikey!

Yes Calendargirl both Fathers Day celebration photographs

Maybe it's the composition of the photo with the father's arms outstretched around them all. Also the fact that we can't see their faces and expressions. Almost a less is more type work of art, which leaves us to put our own spin on it.

Was the one with William and Charles actually shot as a Father's Day photo at the time, 1986 ish? When did the trend for putting out photos for important days like birthdays begin?

I don’t think that the Royal Family (but I could be wrong) posted pictures to mark Mothering Sunday and Fathers Day until social media became a thing, and the world and his wife showed photos to mark this and that.

Also for families like the Wales’, a good way to keep in the public eye, but able to choose and limit what to show.

👍 Calendargirl.

William and Catherine being sensible agreed to some family
occasions to be photographed and shared to keep the press from trying to snap the children, remember Diana exposing
her sons to the cameras
