It is not difficult to trace the history of that photo, which portrays the child prince and his father while playing with a ball. It is part of a series of shots taken on May 1, 1984 at Kensington Palace, in anticipation of William’s second birthday, born on 21 June. Very tender images of the then little prince, together with his father and mother Diana, pregnant at the time with Harry, who would be born the following September. Other shots from that day portray William curiously in front of the photographers’ lenses, sitting with his parents, happy on a swing.

Carlo, for his part, also paid homage to his father Filippo via social media, with some frames from various vintage videos. A very tender message was addressed to all fathers and to those who miss their parents on this day. Just like the king, who lost his father in 2021.

Reach a equilibrium it wasn’t at all obvious, but in the end father and son found each other. The great worry remains over Harry’s exit from the scene, never as far away from his family as he is now. William would not forgive him for writing about him in Spare about the argument he had over Meghan Markle, when he and his younger brother came to blows. Peace could not be more in doubt, while in London the family remains steadfast, waiting for the illnesses of the King and Princess of Wales to be just a memory.
