United Kingdom, June 21 -- Prince William's family celebrated his birthday with a sweet puppy photograph.

A new image, taken by William's wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, was posted on Instagram to mark his 43rd birthday on Saturday (21.06.25).

It shows William sitting in a garden surrounded by the family dog, Cocker spaniel Orla and three of her four recently-born puppies.

The caption - signed by Catherine and their children Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte - states: "Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies!"

Some paw print emojis were added at the end.

Orla was a gift to the couple from Catherine's brother, James Middleton, in 2020, shortly after the death of their previous dog Lupo.
