Following
the birth of Prince George, the Prince of Wales described the
experience of becoming a first-time grandfather as ‘a unique moment in
anyone’s life’.
And
now, a never-before-seen photograph of the royal and his one-year-old
grandson proves just how proud he is of the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge's son.
The
framed image of the 66-year-old and Prince George took pride of place
on a table in the background of a newly released video clip, which the
Prince released to support the world's biggest environmental event,
Earth Hour.
The Prince of Wales filmed a video
about the important of taking part in the world's biggest environmental
event, Earth Hour, this weekend and proved he's a proud grandfather with
a sweet snap of him holding Prince George placed on a table in the
background
The photograph shows doting Prince
Charles holding the young Prince, who looks as sweet as ever in a white
sun hat and dungarees as he points into the distance
The
family snap, which was seemingly taken in the warmer summer months,
shows doting Charles holding the young Prince, who looks as sweet as
ever wearing a white sun-hat and navy blue dungarees as he seemingly
points to something in the distance.
In the video, Charles speaks about why we should join in with the annual Earth Hour and turn off our lights this weekend.
The
photo, of Kate and William, who are expecting their second child next
month, first son, is rather fitting; in the message, he urges people to
work to save the planet 'not just for ourselves but also for our
children and grandchildren'.
The
new photo, which takes pole position in the video, comes after reports
that the monarch is frustrated that he doesn't see his grandson very
often.
In the video, Charles speaks about why
we should join in with the annual Earth Hour and turn off our lights
this weekend and how important it is for the future of our families
Charles is said to have become increasingly perplexed about the peripheral role he occupies in the young Prince’s life.
At
the heart of the heir-to-the-throne’s frustrations is the so-called
‘Middletonisation’ of his son William’s life — specifically the
inordinate amount of time he spends with his in-laws Michael and Carole,
with whom the Duke recently holidayed in Mustique for Carole’s 60th.
In
fact, so vexed is Charles about the so-called ‘March of the Middletons’
that he has complained to friends: ‘They never let me see my grandson.’
A
source told the Daily Mail's Sebastian Shakespeare: ‘Carole has rather
taken over, dictating when George naps, when and what he eats. All in
all, behaving like she’s Queen Carole.’
It
is certainly true there have been few, if any, trips to Charles’s
Gloucestershire home Highgrove over the past year. Some think it’s a
deliberate move on William’s part to protect his young family from
suffering the same stiff, and often unhappy, upbringing he endured.
The video comes in the same month as
reports that Charles is said to have become increasingly perplexed about
the peripheral role he occupies in the young Prince's life
Most
of William and Kate’s time is spent at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall,
on the Queen’s Sandringham estate, where the Prince has been busy
revising for his Air Transport Pilot’s Licence.
The
Middletons are frequent visitors and play an active role in the
household. They stayed there over Christmas, when William pointedly
hosted lunch for them on Christmas Day rather than eat with the Queen,
as is traditional.
Little
George, who will soon become a big brother after his mother gives birth
next month, hasn't been seen in public since February.
