Prince William's children tackle their dad with cuddles in heartwarming Father's Day post
By ELMIRA TANATAROVA
The Prince of Wales's children have released a heartwarming tribute to their 'Papa' for Father's Day.
Sharing their love, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, cuddled up to their dad as they posed for photos with Prince William to commemorate the special celebration.
In one of the pictures, shared on Instagram, the royal's children - all sporting cosy dusky green ensembles beam as they face the camera; and William's hands are affectionately on his kids' shoulders.
And in a second more candid snap, the youngsters all tackle their father with hugs, laughing as they play around in some grass together.
Both of the images were captured by one of the family's trusted professional photographers, Josh Shinner.
The sweet post proves to be yet another break from tradition for Prince William's wife Kate, who has over the years put herself behind the lens to capture family moments.
But earlier this year, for her son Prince Louis's birthday, Josh too was the cameraman behind the seven-year-old's portrait.
The photo of Louis appears to have been taken on the same day as the adorable family photo unveiled today, while the Waleses were in Norfolk.

'Happy Father’s Day, Papa,' the caption read, highlighting that the more posed picture with the family smiling for the camera is the 'before', while the more candid black and white shot of them giggling together is the 'after'. 'We love you! G, C & L.'
It comes as yesterday the Prince and Princess of Wales have released a charming family portrait following the Trooping the Colour parade to celebrate King Charles III's official birthday.
In the sweet snap posted on Instagram, Prince Wiliam and Catherine pose with their three children George, 11, Charlotte, ten and Louis, seven.
'Another brilliant day at Trooping the Colour for His Majesty's Birthday Parade,' the caption read. 'Thank you to everybody who came, and to all those that took part.'
Catherine, 43, looked resplendent in an aquamarine coat dress from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's favourite designer Catherine Walker - complete with a wide-brimmed hat by Juliette Botterill.
The mother-of-three accessorised with the Irish Guards regimental brooch as well as the Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings in a sweet tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
They were crafted from pearls gifted to the Queen and Philip from the ruler of Bahrain at the time of their wedding in 1947.
Her mini-me daughter Charlotte also paid tribute to the late monarch by rewearing the Diamond Horseshoe brooch she wore to her great-grandmother's funeral.
The brooch, which has been in the Royal Family for generations, had been a gift from her 'Gan-Gan' the Queen, and was a fitting nod to Her Majesty's love of horses.

Meanwhile, the boys, George and Louis, wore matching suits with striking red ties to match their father's scarlet military tunic.
The King, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, led the royal appearances on Saturday as they watched a flypast involving aircraft including the Red Arrows, Chinook helicopters and a Lancaster bomber, a model that was used during World War II.
But it was the Wales Family - particularly little Prince Louis - who stole the show on the Buckingham Palace balcony where they were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, as well as the Princess Royal and Sir Timothy Laurence.
The late Queen's cousin the Duke of Gloucester and his wife also watched the flypast, alongside Prince Michael of Kent.
Cheeky Prince Louis captured the hearts of the nation once again as he waved to the gathered crowds with a large beaming smile.
Earlier, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were seen bowing their heads in respect as the royal family led a minute's silence to remember the 270 people so far known to have been killed in the Air India disaster.
Prince William and Catherine's children watched on from a nearby balcony after taking part in the Trooping the Colour parade from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guard's Parade while their parents carried out official roles during the ceremony.
Led by a regal Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, the youngsters joined the rest of the royals in a quiet moment of reflection to remember the lives lost in the disaster.
