Prince William is pictured leaping in the air with his children at a beach, in a photo released by his wife to mark his 42nd birthday.

The photo was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media channels.

“Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!” reads an accompanying message from Catherine, the Princess of Wales.

It was released days after a similar picture was posted alongside a Father’s Day tribute from Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
