Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis’ First-Ever Social Media Statement Is “A Sign of Their Growing Maturity As Young Royals”

Britain's Prince George of Wales, Britain's Prince William, Prince of Wales, Britain's Prince Louis of Wales, Britain's Princess Charlotte of Wales and Britain's Catherine, Princess of Wales, stand on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after attending the King's Birthday Parade, "Trooping the Colour", in London, on June 15, 2024. .

What a weekend, indeed, for royal followers—and all good news, for a change. Friday saw an announcement from the Princess of Wales—alongside a stunning new photo, taken earlier in the week at Windsor—that she would be returning to royal duty, albeit briefly, for Trooping the Colour the next day. And that she did, to tremendous success, followed by a Wales family first the next day, Sunday, that shouldn’t be ignored.

In their social media posts, when a message is directly from the Prince or Princess of Wales, it is signed off with a “W” (signifying William), a “C” (signifying Catherine), or sometimes “W & C” (signifying both of them). But, for Father’s Day yesterday, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of William and his three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, in a photo taken by Kate herself—and with a message written from “G, C & L”—the first time this has ever happened.
