The Prince and Princess of Wales shared some lovely family and work snaps from their summer on Instagram.
The carousel, which dropped on Tuesday, opens with a sweet photo of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, both 44, lounging in the grass with their three children, Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.
“The Summer Rewind🌞⏪,” read the caption. “Thank you to everyone who has made the last few months so special!”
Included is a video of William with famed naturalist and documentarian Sir David Attenborough, who celebrated his 100th birthday with a star-studded concert at the Royal Albert Hall, where the Prince gave a speech.
“It is a rare privilege to celebrate a century of life,” he proclaimed on stage, “but it is rarer still when that person has transformed the way we see the only home that we have — planet Earth.”
Middleton’s successful solo jaunt to Italy was shown with the Princess smiling as she helped prepare tortelli at Agriturismo Al Vigneto in Parma, a rural farm.
It was Middleton’s first official overseas trip a year after entering remission from cancer.
The whirlwind visit was to help promote her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which raises awareness of the importance of early childhood development.
Another video showed Middleton meeting cancer patients at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, highlighting holistic therapies for patients’ physical and emotional well-being.
One particularly moving moment showed the Princess comforting Claire Lorente on the final day of her breast cancer treatment.
Another pic featured a beaming Middleton after taking on a grueling 23-mile hiking challenge to raise money for a cancer charity called the National Three Peaks Challenge Sunday, which involves scaling the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales.
The hike covers 23 miles and an ascent of 10,052 feet, often in adverse weather and in the dark.
Prince William’s charitable work wasn’t forgotten in the roundup.
A photo of the royal alongside Emma Watson and Benedict Cumberbatch at a United for Wildlife Business Forum in London last month was shared. The event was part of London Climate Action Week.
Above that was a snap of Robert Irwin and the Prince. The two rode a zero-emission electric double-decker bus to the Earthshot Prize Impact Assembly, which also took place during London Climate Action Week.
The pics weren’t all work-related.
Royals fans got to enjoy sweet portraits of their kids and Middleton’s appearance at this year’s Wimbledon finals.
Prince George’s portrait had been released to celebrate the heir’s 13th birthday. Louis’ pic was also used to celebrate the youngster’s birthday, as was Charlotte’s when she turned 11.
The roundup also included the couple looking spiffy at Royal Ascot.
It was Middleton’s first time back in three years, looking lovely in a daffodil-yellow dress by Roksanda.
