Detail in Prince William’s Father’s Day photo that shows Harry feud is worse than ever

Eagle-eyed royal experts have spotted a ‘clue’ Prince Harry’s feud with Prince William is worse than ever.

Prince William posted a sweet tribute to his father King Charles yesterday to mark Father’s Day. Alongside a snap of him playing football with his dad, who was dressed in a full suit, William captioned the image: “Happy Father’s Day, Pa. W.”

To mark Father’s Day, the three royal children – George, Charlotte and Louis – also made their online debut. A photo was posted of the four of them looking out over the beach, with the photo, taken by the Princess of Wales, captioned: “We love you, Papa. Happy Father’s Day. G, C & L,” alongside a heart emoji and a camera emoji with the words “The Princess of Wales, 2024”.

The Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers appeared on Lorraine today, where he chatted about the Father’s Day photos. However, he noted there was something clearly missing from the photo of the Prince of Wales and his father King Charles.

Showing the picture, Russell and Lorraine Kelly discussed the snap, with Russell pointing out that it was quite poignant that Prince William had chosen a photograph of him and his father alone, and not one including Prince Harry, hinting that the feud between the siblings shows no sign of healing, with the rift seemingly worse than ever.

Body language expert Judi James looked at the snap of Prince William and his kids’ ‘calm isolation’ photo by Kate, describing it as a special “intimate and loving moment” between the family.

“This is such a touching and telling Enid Blyton-style childhood pose from Kate and William to celebrate their view of fatherhood. The choice of setting suggests calm isolation and by looking out to sea they project a message of looking into their future, enjoyed as a casual and non-royal-looking family group. Photographed from the back view, they avoid actually communicating with the camera. It suggests this is an intimate and loving moment caught rather than a ‘show pony’ one posed to please the viewer.”

To mark Father’s Day, The Royal Family ’s Twitter account also shared footage of Charles and his late father, Prince Philip. “Wishing all Dads, and those who may be missing their parents today, a relaxing Father’s Day,” the royal family’s official account wrote.
