Prince Charles shares photos of Philip, Harry and William for Father's Day, as Meghan releases book - ABC News

Celebrating Father's Day in the UK, Prince Charles has paid tribute to his sons and his dad, the late Prince Philip, and given a shout-out to "all papas everywhere".

Key points:

• Prince Charles has sent a message to those "missing their dads" on his first Father's Day without Prince Philip
• The future king also shared photos of his sons, despite tension with his youngest, Harry
• Meghan has given a rare interview on a Father's Day book she has released

Marking the occasion, which is celebrated in June in the UK and US, Clarence House released pictures of the future king with a message for people "missing their dads today".

"We are thinking of you and wishing you a special Father's Day," it said.

It was the first Father's Day Prince Charles has spent without his dad — Prince Philip died in April aged 99.

One image released by Clarence House showed the young Prince Charles with Philip in a black-and-white portrait.

Another showed him with his own sons, William and Harry, at a polo match, while the image also featured pictures of Camilla and her father, Bruce Shand.

The images were released just a week before Prince Harry embarks on a trip to the UK to mark what would have been the 60th birthday of his mother, Princess Diana.

The royal family's official account also shared an image of the Queen — then Princess Elizabeth — with her father, King George VI, Prince Philip, and a young Prince Charles playing on a statue at her Balmoral Estate.
