The Prince of Wales turns 42 years old today and is likely spending it surrounded by his wife Kate Middleton and their three children.

To mark his special day, Kate shared a picture of Wills and their adorable little trio on a beach outing as they jumped from a sand dune.

The joyous action shot shows Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, all holding hands as they make the leap.

Kate penned a heartwarming message alongside the snap, which read: “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx”

It was uploaded on The Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account.

AIR FLAIR

But 10 years ago on Wills’ 32nd birthday, the couple had yet to expand

To help the young family get around at their leisure, the Queen gifted William a £8 million helicopter to use at his leisure, HuffPost reported at the time.

At the time, the royal family regularly travelled between engagements by helicopter.
