Royal Family post picture of King with William as a baby to mark prince's 42nd birthday

A photograph of the King with the Prince of Wales as a baby has been shared by the Royal Family to mark William's 42nd birthday.

The happy snap showed a smiling Charles holding his laughing son on his lap.

The black-and-white image was taken at Kensington Palace in London, on 1 February 1983.

The picture was posted on the The Royal Family X account on Friday morning.

It was accompanied by the message: "Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!"

William is celebrating the big day after watching England's disappointing Euro 2024 draw against Denmark.

The prince who is president of the FA, was pictured alongside Denmark's King Frederick as the two teams went head to head in Frankfurt, Germany, with the Three Lions drawing 1-1 in their second match of the tournament.
