Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis passed a major milestone last weekend which is evidence of their "growing maturity", a royal writer has claimed.
To mark Father's Day, the Prince and Princess of Wales's children posted a photograph to Instagram showing Prince William with the three of them on a beach in Norfolk.
George, 10, Charlotte, nine, and Louis, six, captioned the photograph themselves, writing a sweet and loving caption in their first-ever social media post.
The trio wrote: "We love you, Papa. Happy Father’s Day. G, C & L."

"The message does, however, mark the first time the children have been given such a platform to make a public statement like this to a global audience, and is a sign of their growing maturity as young royals."
