Prince Charles is a doting grandfather to his three young grandchildren. and he has proudly showed off a photo featuring all three of them in his living room. The family picture features in the background of a new video message posted on Clarence House's Twitter account on Tuesday, where Charles speaks about his impending trip to The Gambia. The chosen picture takes centre stage on a table next to the fireplace – and is one of the official portraits from Prince Louis' christening in July. Along with his grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, the image - taken by Matt Holyoak - also features both of Charles' sons Prince William and Prince Harry, their wives the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex, as well as Charles and Camilla.

The father-of-two has previously opened up about being a granddad, saying: "It's a different part of your life. The great thing is to encourage them. Show them things to take their interest. My grandmother did that, she was wonderful." He added: "It is very important to create a bond when they are very young."

Charles is certainly hands on with his grandchildren, and has shared his passion for gardening with them. In a new BBC documentary, Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70, which airs in November, Charles sweetly pays tribute to his eldest grandson, George. In a preview clip, he motions to dozens of different tree varieties which were planted when George was born five years ago. "As I get older, all I really long for is to plant trees," the future King added. "I hope it will be quite amusing for George, as they grow up, and he grows up."
