Royal family releases Prince William's beaming photo to mark his 43rd birthday
King Charles and Queen Camilla celebrated Prince William's 43rd birthday amid growing concerns about Princess Kate's health.
On June 21, the official Instagram account of the royal family released a delightful photo of the future King alongside a special message.
"Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales," the King's team captioned the post.
It is important to note that the royal family marked William's big day after reports claimed that Princess Catherine's last-minute decision regarding Royal Ascot's appearance caused "panic" in the Palace.
For the unversed, the Princess of Wales was pulled off last minute from the opening day event of Royal Ascot 2025, sparking questions about her health following her cancer battle.
According to the Daily Beast, Kensington Palace's revised list of royals attending the key event caused panic in the Palace.
The royal aides were "bewildered and worried" about Kate, who is in remission from cancer.
An insider shared that "rumours had briefly swirled around the palace that the future queen had been taken unwell and either needed to see a doctor or had been rushed to the hospital."
However, the future Queen seemingly debunked these rumours by releasing a statement in honour of Children's Hospice Week.
