The Duke of Cambridge spent Father's Day with his two eldest children today as they helped him kick off a half marathon event on the Queen's Sandringham Estate.
Prince William, who turns 39 tomorrow, was joined by Prince George, seven, and Princess Charlotte, six, at the beginning of the event in Sandringham, Norfolk.
Dressed casually in a pale blue shirt and a pair of navy chinos, the proud dad addressed runners and then held the microphone down to the two children so that they could count down to the start of the race together.
The royal trio were then seen waving as enthusiastic competitors passed them by at the beginning of their 13.1 mile circuit.
Prince William appeared smiling and relaxed today, despite reports he 'threw Prince Harry out' of their joint household at Kensington Palace following a blistering row between the brothers. The clash has been detailed by historian and biographer Robert Lacey, in his book Battle of Brothers which is being serialised in The Times.

Prince George echoed his father's style today, dressed in a smart pair of blue chino shorts and a check shirt with navy Nike trainers. Meanwhile Charlotte wore a pair of denim shorts with bright pink Nike trainers, completing her look with a baby pink Ralph Lauren jumper.
The princess wore her long hair in a half up-do, with the sides taken back in two plaits which combined into a small ponytail.
As they left the event, Prince William affectionately held his eldest son's hand while led away by a steward.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 39, and the couple's youngest son Prince Louis, three, were not photographed at the event.
Earlier today the Cambridges shared a series of photos as part of a video collage to mark Father's Day - the Royal Family's first without Prince Philip, who passed away on April 9 aged 99.

Another showed Kate Middleton with her father Michael Middleton on her wedding day in 2011.
In a touching tribute to his late grandfather, the Duke of Cambridge also shared a snap of his children sitting on a sofa with their grandparents and cousins Mia and Lena Tindall, and Savannah and Isla Phillips.
One last picture showed William being cuddled by Prince George, seven, and Princess Charlotte, six, while wearing his military uniform. He cradled his youngest son, Prince Louis in the adorable snap to celebrate the day.
The argument between the princes was reportedly sparked by Harry's wife Meghan Markle being accused of bullying her staff at the palace. When William was informed about the 'dossier of distress' that had been compiled in relation to her behaviour, he was concerned and had to speak with his brother face to face, resulting in a bitter row which left both princes unhappy with each other and led William to take the decision to split their household.

The newspaper revealed in March how Jason Knauf, communications secretary to the Cambridges and Sussexes, claimed in October 2018 that Meghan had been bullying members of staff. Lawyers for the Sussexes have denied the allegations.
After William heard the bullying allegations, he rang Harry, according to Lacey. The conversation was heated and Harry 'shut off his phone angrily' so William went to speak to him personally.
Lacey writes: 'The Prince was horrified by what he had just
