Prince William and Kate Middleton share family photo with George, Charlotte and Louis for Mother’s Day
The Royal Family has celebrated their first Mother’s Day without the Queen with a series of heartwarming social media posts.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared sweet new family photos of Kate spending quality time with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to mark Mother’s Day.
Posting on their Instagram account this morning, the royal couple shared two photos of Kate with their children at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk last year.
The first portrait – taken by photographer Matt Porteous – shows the Princess of Wales and her three children sitting in a tree.
Dressed casually in a white blouse, jeans and white trainers, the Princess of Wales has styled her hair in her signature loose waves.

Meanwhile, her two sons wore blue shorts and short-sleeved shirts for the photo shoot, while Charlotte donned a denim jumpsuit with red tassels.
The second image shows Kate lovingly cradling her youngest son Prince Louis, aged four, in her arms.
While beaming down at him, Louis is seen cute holding his mother’s hand.
The couple captioned the post: “Happy Mother’s Day from our family to yours.”
The newly released photos were taken on the same day as their Christmas card from last year.
For this family shoot, Kate and William turned to their favorite – and most trusted – photographer Matt Porteous.
The environmental photographer previously captured the photo they used for their 2021 Christmas card, as well as Prince George’s third birthday portraits.
The post from the Prince and Princess of Wales has already garnered 90,000 likes and fans rushed to gush over the sweet images.

The blond monarch, dressed in a white-collared dress, beamed at the camera and grabbed his mother’s hand in the undated image.
Meanwhile, the Queen – Princess Elizabeth at the time – looked radiant in a fitted gray dress and pearl necklace.
Her Majesty – who was just 22 when she gave birth to King Charles – smiled from afar and had her brown hair styled in her signature curls and wore pale orange lipstick.
Today marks King Charles’ first ever Mothering Sunday without his ‘beloved mother’ – who passed away last September at the age of 96.
Sarah Ferguson, 63, shared how proud she was of Princess Beatrice, 34, and Princess Eugenie, 32, in an Instagram post. She shared a photo of the two princesses, taken in 2001, on their way to a service to mark the late Duke of Edinburgh’s 80th birthday in Windsor.

She wrote, “I am so proud of my girls and the beautiful women and mothers they have become. I feel extremely blessed to call them my own.
“My dear ones, you are always and forever my sunshine. #happy mothersday.’
