The heartwarming snap of Wills embracing Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, was taken by Princess Kate in Norfolk last month while she bravely fights cancer.
It shows the trio looking out onto the sunny beach setting and was uploaded to Kensington Palace's Instagram account.

It marked the first time a message from the children had been posted on the Palace's social media.

SHOW OF SUPPORT
Prince William and King Charles' sweet posts and nostalgic throwbacks show solidarity amid current pressures.
The King has bravely opened up about his cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatment.
Despite stepping back from public-facing duties, his Majesty looked in top form at Trooping the Colour on June 15, and Royal Ascot this week.
Charles proudly took to the stage to congratulate the winners after leading a carriage procession with Queen Camilla at the prestigious Berkshire event.
The Monarch chatted with jockeys as he presented several winners with awards during a glorious afternoon of racing.
He donned a grey coat tail, yellow waistcoat, blue tie and smart-looking top hat.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate has also been honest about her cancer diagnosis and preventative chemotherapy treatment.
It has seen the royal mum-of-three away from the public eye for months, since announcing the shock in March.
Princess Kate's Emotional Statement
In a post shared to the family's Instagram account, Kate shared a personal message on her road to recovery and her plans to attend the King's Birthday Parade.
This was her first public appearance following the cancer diagnosis, and her abdominal surgery in January.
"I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months.
"It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.
"I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.
"On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to
your body resting.
"But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well."
Trooping the Colour was extra special this year thanks to Kate's triumphant return, after being absent from public duties since Christmas last year.
She delighted royal fans by appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside the King, Queen, Prince William and her children.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun: "The image I think so many people will have is of Catherine standing next to King Charles on the balcony.

“Here though, that relationship was highlighted to illustrate how those bonds have only deepened and enriched by their bonds of empathy created by their illnesses.
"This can be interpreted as a gesture of solidarity and support from Charles to Catherine."
