The Royal Family shared a very special throwback photo to celebrate Father’s Day this year. This year marks the first Father’s Day without Prince Philip, who passed away at the age of 99 in April.
The black and white photo from 1951 shows the Queen, her father King George VI, Prince Philip, and very young Prince Charles. They captioned the photo, “To all dads everywhere, we wish you a very special Father’s Day. To mark #FathersDay we are sharing this photograph of The Queen with her father, King George VI, and Prince Philip watching a young Prince Charles sitting on a statue at Balmoral in 1951.”
