‘Where’s Charlotte?’ A controversial royal Father’s Day photo…

The image was released today.

To mark Father’s Day – Kensington Palace released a couple of heart-warming pictures.

The first was a throwback snap of Charles with princes William and Harry.

The next showed William hugging Prince George, his eldest of two children.

“Happy Father’s Day. Wishing all the fathers out there a very happy day,” the accompanying caption read on Twitter.

So far, so standard, you might think.

Except it didn’t take the internet long to ask one very important question: namely… just where is Charlotte?

Charlotte, of course, is William and Catherine’s adorable two-year-old daughter – a cute-as-a-button little sister to the almost four-year-old George.

Some observers dug out snaps showing Wills with both his babies – presumably to show that such gorgeous snaps do indeed exist.

Others responded with a mixture of bemusement and criticism at the decision to exclude the youngest little royal.

“Hope for better pics next time to include both children,” said one. Another used the hashtag #daddysgirl and asked simply: “Where is Princess Charlotte?”

A third commentator opted for: “Odd there’s only picture with his son? Where’s his daughter?”

We also reckon it’s a pretty strange oversight by the British royals – but we’re sure that William is today being spoilt rotten by his family regardless.

Happy Father’s Day!
