The Princess of Wales is trying out a new social media strategy in honor of Father's Day and her husband Prince William.

On Sunday, June 16, Kate Middleton shared a sweet new photo of Prince William alongside her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The foursome can be seen with their backs to the camera as they appear on a nondescript beach.

"Love you, Dad...Happy Father's Day 💕 G, C & L📸," Middleton captioned the post, writing in her kids' voices for the first time. And she rated herself as a photographer by signing it: "Princess of Wales in 2024."

The post was made in honor of King Charles' second official birthday, this year's "Trooping the Colors," when the Royal Family took Buckingham This comes just one day after they gathered together on the Palace's famous balcony in a show of solidarity. It was Middleton's first public appearance in six months since being diagnosed with unspecified cancer.

In what has been a turbulent six months for the royal family - two cancer diagnoses, Middleton's health, his position within the royal family, and an onslaught of online conspiracy theories and debunked rumors about the marriage - Prince William has stepped up not only as an active royal, often filling in for his father, but as a husband and father He has reportedly stepped up his game.

Royal historian Gareth Russell recently told Us Weekly that Prince William was reportedly "emotionally unprepared" for both his wife and father being diagnosed with cancer, but he has been "more protective" of his wife "than ever before" and He is even reportedly "furious" at the growing conspiracy theories about his wife's health.

And despite reportedly feeling "helpless and scared" a few months after his wife's diagnosis, he has reportedly taken a strong stand against the public and has maintained a more constant presence in their children's lives while Middleton continues chemotherapy.

"William tries to be there for Kate and help her as much as he can," a source told Us Weekly at the time.

"He spends time with the kids, doing schoolwork with them and spending time with them in the afternoons and evenings."

Prior to her surprise appearance on Trooping the Color, the Crown Princess gave an emotional and vulnerable update on her health and ongoing cancer treatment.

I am progressing well, but as anyone going through chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days. On the bad days, I feel weak, tired, and have no choice but to give in to resting my body." But on good days, when I feel stronger, I want to make the most of being well."

"My treatment is ongoing and will continue for a few more months," she continued. On days when I feel well enough, I am happy to participate in school life, spend personal time on things that give me energy and positive feelings, and even start a little work at home."
