Kate posts sweet tribute to Prince of Wales on his 42nd birthday

It was taken by Kate last month in Norfolk.
Earlier, Buckingham Palace shared a photograph of the King with the Prince of Wales as a baby on his lap.
The black-and-white image was taken at Kensington Palace in London, on 1 February 1983.
The picture was posted on the Royal Family’s X account on Friday morning.
It was accompanied by the message: “Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!”
William is celebrating the big day after watching England’s disappointing Euro 2024 draw against Denmark.
The prince who is president of the FA, was pictured alongside Denmark’s King Frederick as the two teams went head to head in Frankfurt, Germany, with the Three Lions drawing 1-1 in their second match of the tournament.
William’s birthday follows a difficult year with both his wife the Princess of Wales and father the King diagnosed with cancer.
Kate returned briefly to the public limelight at Trooping the Colour last weekend with William and their three children.
But in a personal message to the nation, the princess revealed although she is making good progress, she is “not out of the woods yet”.
Kate told how she has good days and bad days and is facing a few more months of chemotherapy treatment.
The prince met his future wife at St Andrews University in Fife, and the pair married at Westminster Abbey in 2011 after dating for more than eight years.
Their first child George was born in 2013, followed by Charlotte in 2015, and Louis in 2018.
After the death of the late Queen in 2022, the King announced in his first historic address he had made William and Kate the new Prince and Princess of Wales.
Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales was born second in line to the throne at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, at 9.03pm on June 21 1982.
He weighed 7lb 1 1/2oz and was the first child of the then-Prince and Princess of Wales.
A man’s body has been recovered from an area of flooding in North Yorkshire, police have said, as major incidents have been declared in two counties.
The body was found near Intake Lane in Beal, close to Eggborough and Knottingley.
Police believe the man may have entered the water in the last 24 to 48 hours.

North Yorkshire Police said: “Despite extensive enquiries, including with our colleagues in Humberside and West Yorkshire Police, we have been unable to identify him.
“He was found without any identification or personal belongings.”
The man was also described as white, in his early 50s to 60s, with light brown short hair and stubble.
He was wearing brown walking boots, blue denim jeans, a multicoloured knitted jumper and possibly a dark green waterproof coat, police added.
It comes after Leicestershire and Lincolnshire both declared a major incident in response to the extreme weather hitting the UK and Ireland.

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue was the first emergency service in England to declare an incident and said it had received more than 200 calls since Monday morning over widespread flooding.
Crews had found cars stuck in floodwater and evacuated residents from flooded homes and rising waters, with some 17 people rescued as of 1.45pm.
The Lincolnshire Resilience Forum declared a major incident shortly after, and noted that emergency services had rescued children who were stranded at a school in Edenham.
Meanwhile, the Met Office has three yellow weather warnings – each for snow and ice – in effect throughout Monday evening and Tuesday morning.

The Met Office has also issued a warning covering Wales and parts of northwest England on Monday evening, moving into southwest England, the Midlands and parts of southern England in the early hours of Tuesday.
On Wednesday, a yellow weather warning for snow is in effect across the south of England – stretching from just above Truro in Cornwall to Canterbury in Kent – from 9am to midnight.
