The Prince of Wales has shared a throwback photo of him playing football with the King to mark Father’s Day.
Taken on June 12 1984, the image shows a young beaming William and Charles playing together. ‘Happy Father’s Day, Pa,’ the post, personally signed by William, said.
Later that same year William would gain a younger brother, with the Duke of Sussex born in September.
William put on an adorable display in blue dungarees and a striped t-shirt as he played with a ball in the picture, while Charles looked dapper in a grey suit, shirt, and tie.
Earlier today, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Princess Eugenie marked Father’s Day with touching social media posts.

King Charles and Queen Camilla led the Father’s Day tributes this morning with a touching video montage of Charles and Philip (pictured)
The British royal family’s X, formerly Twitter, account posted footage of Charles and his father, the late Prince Philip, sourced from the BFI National Archive.
The touching video shared several heartwarming memories between the father-son duo alongside the writing: ‘Wishing all dads, and those who may be missing their parents today, a relaxing Father’s Day.’
The throwback monochrome footage showed Charles and his father from when he was a toddler to a young boy.
In one precious clip, the late Queen Elizabeth featured when she was a young mother as she joined Philip and Charles for a stroll in the palace gardens.
Elsewhere, Charles relaxed on a picnic blanket with Philip, who was dressed smartly for the occasion in a double-breasted suit.
Meanwhile, Charles looked adorable in a white ensemble as he relaxed with his father on the summer’s day.
The video then moved forward to when Charles was a little boy and spending time with Philip.
Charles enjoyed a sailing adventure, playing outdoors, and feeding horses with his father in the black-and-white footage.

The BFI National Archive collected the precious footage, which forms part of the British Film Institute and is one of the most extensive film archives worldwide.
Princess Eugenie, 34, later posted a sweet Father’s Day tribute to her husband, Jack Brooksbank, 38.
Taking to Instagram, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York shared two images of Jack.
In the first, Jack smiled with their oldest son, August, three, in a play park, alongside the writing: ‘Happy Father’s Day’.
The second photo showed Jack wrapped up in warm clothes from behind with their youngest son, Ernest, one.
It comes after the close relationship between King Charles and his daughter-in-law Kate appears to have become even closer, according to a body language expert.
Charles, 75, and Kate, 42, were reunited on the Buckingham Palace balcony yesterday for the first time since they both began cancer treatment.

The Princess of Wales joined other members of the Royal Family to watch a spectacular flypast by the RAF as she made a triumphant return to public life at Trooping the Colour.
In a departure from last year, when King Charles stood next to his heir Prince William, 41, this year, he stood next to Kate.
The Royal Family came together to watch the spectacular flypast by the RAF, which was met with cheers from the crowds below.
It began as senior royals came out onto the balcony – with Charles and Camilla followed by Kate and William and their children George, Charlotte and Louis.
They were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, with the family smiling and waving to crowds before standing proudly as the national anthem was played.

Kate’s appearance had been in doubt after she missed the final Trooping rehearsal last weekend, with confirmation that she would attend only given at 6pm on Saturday.
But with the King also suffering from cancer, today’s spectacle of military pomp and pageantry became a symbolic statement by the monarchy after much uncertainty.
The family were first seen arriving at Buckingham Palace in a car at 10am, with George sitting between Kate and William, and Charlotte and Louis opposite.
King Charles III also rode in a carriage with Queen Camilla, a departure from last year because of his illness, and he inspected the officers and guardsmen on Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall from the coach rather than from a horse.
Trooping the Colour is a social as well as a ceremonial occasion and the stands overlooking the parade ground were filled with about 8,000 spouses, girlfriends and parents of the guardsmen and officers on parade.

It featured more than 1,250 soldiers, and hundreds of Guardsmen were lined up on the parade ground waiting to be inspected by the King from his carriage with Camilla, Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, and joined by the mounted royal Colonels.
The colour, or regimental flag, that was trooped WAS the King’s Colour of number 9 company, Irish Guards.
When the royal carriages finally came to a stop Louis was the first to leave, followed by his elder brother George and sister Charlotte.
Finally, Kate stepped down wearing wearing a Jenny Packham dress, hat by Philip Treacy and the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, as she is the regiment’s Colonel.
When the inspection of the Guardsmen in their scarlet tunics and bearskins began, the King cast his eye over the servicemen who are fighting soldiers when not performing ceremonial duties.
Sat beside him in the carriage was the Queen who wore a pale green silk crepe dress and coat by Anna Valentine, Philip Tracey hat and her Grenadier Guards military brooch.
