Prince William is celebrating Father's Day today with his three children. A body language expert has analyzed their new Father's Day photograph in comparison to an archive picture of Princess Diana with her sons, William and Harry. Prince William, 40, posed with his three children, Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, four, for Father's Day. The photo was taken on the Windsor Estate earlier this year by Millie Pilkington, who previously captured Louis's fifth birthday photos.
William is seen in the photo surrounded by his three children, with George and Charlotte beside him and Louis hugging him from behind. Immediately the photo is reminiscent of a picture taken by Jayne Fincher showing Princess Diana at Highgrove House in the 1980s with her children, William and Harry. Similarly to Louis in the 2023 Father's Day photograph, William could be seen wrapping his arms around his mother Diana. She claimed: "These two poses are touchingly similar. The one of William with Diana must have had an iconic place in William's life and memory.
"But the similarities could have occurred subliminally rather than deliberately, especially as it would have depended on the body language reaction of two young boys: William and Louis.
"You can position children for a photo but the spontaneous delight, affection and fun on both boy's faces would need to have come naturally from within.
