One person said: “Beautiful picture of 3 generations.”

One said: “Wow, disappointing that there wasn’t a dedicated post for Louis and Charlotte recently.”

Another wrote: “What about Charlotte 4 days ago?”

Fans defend Charles and Camilla

But many people defended the couple, saying they did post photos to their Instagram Stories rather than an ordinary post.

The Clarence House Twitter page also sent messages to Charlotte and Louis on their birthdays.

One added: “There was a story photo re-post for both birthdays.”

What a beautiful picture. Three generations.

Another hit back: “There was a picture of her [Charlotte] on their Instagram stories.”

Another pointed out the social media boycott which William and Kate took part in last weekend.

It was in support of the Football Association against online abuse aimed at footballers.
