The World's Hottest Celebrity Dads
From Shemar More to Prince Harry, parenthood has only made these celebrity men hotter — and better all around, according to scientific studies.
According to the New York Times, men undergo a number of physiological changes when they have children, including a drop in testosterone, which may help foster parent-child bonding and brain changes 'linked to attachment, nurturing, empathy and the ability to interpret and react appropriately to a baby's behavior.'
And it's possible that fatherhood may also make men more sexually attractive — according to a 2006 study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, when a group of women analyzed photos of men viewing images of either infants or adults and rated those men on their attractiveness per their facial cues, men perceived as interested in the babies scored higher on their long-term appeal.
If you're looking for more evidence that fatherhood is an asset, start with these celebrity men. For example, Ciara has said that becoming a dad suits her NFL-playing husband Russell Wilson very well. 'He's obviously really beautiful to me in every way, but the father in him is by far one of the things that makes him the most sexy to me,' she told GQ in February 2021. 'Hot. To me it's hot.' Meghan Markle also said Prince Harry's journey into fatherhood was 'the most beautiful thing to watch,' and Amal Clooney shared that George Clooney's mischievous sense of humor has kept their family on its toes.

Is it hot in here, or did Shemar Moore just walk in the room? The Criminal Minds star is dad to daughter Frankie, born in 2022, with ex Jesiree Dizon, and from his hot bod to his caring girl dad vibe, we can't get enough of him. In fact, we practically had a heart attack when we saw a Feb. 2025 video of Frankie repeating affirmations like 'I am smart, I am kind, I am strong, I am brave, I am loving, I am loveable, I am sweet, I am beautiful!' Our hearts don't stand a chance!
Adam Levine is just plain yummy. The Maroon 5 frontman brings his rockstar life with him during dad duties to daughters Dusty Rose and Gio Grace, and a son, whose name has not been revealed, who he shares with wife Behati Prinsloo. The tattoos, his sexy voice, the way he effortlessly carries his daughters' pink backpacks before school — we love it all.
Justin Bieber is a new addition to the hot dads' club for one reason: he only recently became a dad! The Canadian singer has been hot for years, with his tattooed torso and slick voice. But now, the 'Peaches' singer is a proud dad to baby Jack Blues, who he shares with wife Hailey Bieber. (He even has a snapback hat embroidered with 'Jack Blues' on the back!) His bad boy look and popstar status, combined with love for his son, gets us every time.
The retired Philadelphia Eagles center is a family man, a kind-hearted dad to four daughters, and one of PEOPLE's Sexiest Men Alive — and we couldn't love him more! From ripping off his t-shirt in support of his brother Travis Kelce's football games to showering his daughters with love, Jason Kelce is definitely a hot dad.
In a May 2023 interview with PEOPLE, the New Heights podcast co-host shared, 'Before I had children, I told myself if I ever have a daughter, I'm just going to treat them exactly the same as a son. I don't think that you should treat kids necessarily different,' Kelce explained. 'And then when I had a daughter, I was like, 'I'm not going to spoil her, I'm going to raise her tough. She's going to be hard.' And the moment she came out, I was like, 'Yeah, that's not going to work,'' he explained, adding, 'Being a father is by far the biggest highlight of my life, no question about it.'
When Kansas City Chiefs' quaterback Patrick Mahomes gave a shirtless locker room interview after the team's 2024 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, which secured their spot in Super Bowl LVIII, fans lost their minds. Because Mahomes is a ma-hottie with a dad body!
The footballer shared a clip of the interview, tweeting, 'Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣 #DadBodSZN.' He then added, 'Like I got kids!!!! @Chiefs @insidetheNFL @NFL 🤣🤣🤣'
But fans loved the way he looks, which is a little softer around the middle and ultimately, more cuddle-able. 'You and @JasonKelce doing more for dad bods than anyone in history. Doing the lord's work,' one person responded. Another wrote, 'We love the @JasonKelce & your dad bod! Embrace it!!!!'
Mahomes shares kids Sterling, Bronze, and Golden with wife Brittany Mahomes.
From his EGOT-winning croon to his sexy smile, John Legend has stolen our hearts. And when he talks about his wife Chrissy Teigen, who he shares four kids with, we can't help but pine for him even more.
In a 2023 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Legend shared his go-to advice for keeping sexy time alive: be romantic. 'You have to find time, you have to still do those romantic gestures and make an effort,' he shared. 'I think that's all important. You can't take things for granted, especially if you've been together for a long time. If you allow yourself to just get in a rut, you gotta go on a date, do some things, do some fun things, make some romantic gestures.' Swoon!
'Fanny flutters' was a phrase invented for Jeremy Allen White, who is a girl dad to daughters Ezer and Dolores. His tattoos, disarming blue eyes, and chiseled body makes us feel all tingly inside. The Bear star previously stripped down to his underwear for a Calvin Klein campaign, which left people literally drooling. One person said, 'this deserves an oscar honestly,' and another said, 'forgive me I just drooled 🤤.'
Yes, Chef! We are obsessed.
Alright, alright, alright. Matthew McConaughey — or as we like to call him, Matthew McConaughhoney — is a hot Southern dad. The former rom-com heartthrob has still got it, with his wavy blonde hair and college professor glasses that has us sweating in our seats. The Interstellar star shares three kids with wife Camila Alves McConaughey.
A$AP Rocky oozes charm, sexiness, and style, giving him a permanent spot on our hot dads list. The rapper shares two kids (and another on the way!) with Rihanna, who is just as obsessed with his fashion as we are.
In an April 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 'Diamonds' singer shared that she dresses their kids like their dad. 'When I dress them, I always try to dress them like Rocky,' she told the outlet. 'Because I always envision dressing a girl, right? We all do as women, like, 'Oh, I'm going to dress her in these cute little things,' but then you get sons and you're like, 'What do I do?' and I was like, 'You know what, I have the biggest hack — their dad.''
Nick Jonas used to be cute, but when he became a dad, he jumped straight to sexy. The 'Waffle House' singer shares daughter Malti Marie with wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and from the way he talks about his daughter gives us heart-eyes.
In a March 2025 interview with PEOPLE at JonasCon, the Jonas Brothers singer shared, 'The best part about being a dad for me and balancing things like this work stuff — and this is hardly work — is that you could feel like your coolest self on top of the world, and she just doesn't care at all.'
'She wants to play Moana and Maui with me, and that means more to me than anything else, is that time with her,' he continued. 'And just the fact that I'm just Dad when I'm home, it means a lot.'
Joe Jonas has been a heartthrob for years, and welcoming two daughters with ex-wife Sophie Turner has made him even more so. Once, he shared a bit advice to daughters Delphine and Willa that put him in total zaddy mode.
'I want them to be themselves,' he previously told PEOPLE. 'I really don't need them to think that their dad or their uncles are the coolest in the world. That's not what it's all about.'
Is anyone else's heart beating really fast right now?
Every early 2000s girl was in love with Chad Michael Murray at one point or another, and the Freaky Friday star is even hotter now that he's a dad. He and his wife Sarah Roemer share three kids.
'My goal in life is to just be a great father, a great husband,' Murray told Interview Magazine in Dec. 2024. 'I love being an actor. But at the end of the day, the real grassroots thing for me was being a family man. I had to find the right partner for that. And I had to go through the right experiences and the wrong experiences to get there.'
Still, it's hard to decide if we love seeing him in dad mode more or if we love seeing him stripping on stage in Netflix's Merry Gentleman. (It's both, definitely both!)
Kaley Cuoco never misses an opportunity to praise her hot fiancé, Tom Pelphrey. The Ozark star, who shares daughter Matilda with Cuoco, made his girl (and us!) swoon when he pushed their daughter in the shoulder with sweats, shades, and a man bun. 'Hottest Dad Ever,' she wrote over the snap.
Matilda loves her dad too. 'Whenever he walks in the room, she only wants to be with him. She is a total daddy's girl,' Cuoco previously told PEOPLE.
'He loves her more than anything in the world,' she said.
Retiring hasn't made Tom Brady any less attractive. Quite the opposite, in fact, as he's had more time to devote to his three kids!
The former NFL quarterback is dad to son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan, and son Benjamin and daughter Vivian with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. In an appearance at the Fortune Global Forum in Nov. 2024, he shared, 'There's a lot of challenges I faced as a kid … my kids naturally are gonna be faced with their own challenges, and they gotta figure out how to overcome them. I'll be there to support them and I'll be learning along the way with them.'
Drew and Jonathon Scott may be identical twins, but being a father makes Drew the undoubtedly spicier TV personality. And we know what you're wondering, but no, this realtor is not on the market.
Scott and his wife Linda Phan met at Toronto Fashion Week in 2010 and have been together ever since. In May 2022, they had their first child, Parker James. Scott told Entertainment Tonight that fatherhood 'unlocks a side you didn't know you had.'
It has certainly unlocked a side we didn't know we had for this Property Brother.
The world fell in love with Channing Tatum when he made his big screen debut in Step Up, and he's only gotten hotter as time has gone on.
The actor, who shares daughter Everly with ex-wife Jenna Dewan, fully embraces his role as a father — in fact, he's penned two children's books inspired by his little girl. Tatum isn't afraid to show his softer side, whether he's opening up about his father-daughter connection or showing off his muscles in a fairy costume, which somehow makes him so much more drool-worthy.
David Beckham may be known as one of the best soccer players in history, but he's also made a name for himself as a devoted dad.
The footballer shares sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, as well as daughter Harper, with his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham. She, like the rest of the world, relishes David's good looks — for Christmas 2022, the fashion designer wore a hoodie emblazoned with 'All I Want For Christmas is David Beckham.' Same, Posh. Same.
Thor actor Idris Elba has two kids — daughter Isan and son Winston — and his passion for fatherhood makes the former Sexiest Man Alive a bonafide hot dad.
'More than anything, you have to make time to be with your children,' Elba told Cosmopolitan in 2015. 'It's something I battle a lot because of my career, because as much as it's nice to be busy and working, ultimately children don't raise themselves. You've got to be there to help them and guide them through it. That's one thing I try my very best to do. I love being a dad, it's an important part of my life.'
Ryan Reynolds has it all — he's smart, business-savvy, utterly hilarious, obsessed with being a girl dad, and he's hot. What more could you want?
His wife, Blake Lively, is just as obsessed as the rest of us. Under an Instagram video shared by Reynolds of himself and Will Ferrell practicing dance choreography for their movie, Spirited, Lively commented, 'Can you get pregnant while pregnant??'
The pair share daughters James, Inez, and Betty and son Olin.
Henry Golding gave us butterflies as we watched Crazy Rich Asians, and he gives us even more flutters whenever he shares moments with his daughter, Lyla, whom he shares with his wife, Liv Lo. Take, for example, this adorable carousel of family photos or this super sweet collection of memories Lo shared in honor of Golding on Father's Day. We love a hot girl dad.
Thor himself is undoubtedly one of the hunkiest men on the plant — and in the multiverse as a whole, if it actually exists. Chris Hemsworth's massive muscles, ocean-blue eyes, and deep Australian accent all contribute to his attractiveness, but his role as dad to daughter India and twin sons Tristan and Sasha is his most swoon-worthy quality of all.
Whether he's running around the house in a cape playing 'superhero camp' with his sons or making a late-night omelet with his daughter, we can't get enough — and neither can his wife, actress Elsa Pataky, who's usually the one documenting the sweet moments behind the camera!
His effortlessly cool style, deep brown eyes, and basketball-pro physique certainly contribute to his hotness, but for us, Dwyane Wade's hottest quality is being a devoted dad to sons Zaire and Xavier and daughters Zaya and Kaavia.
Whether he's championing trans rights on his daughter's behalf, toting around his Shady Baby, or hitting the gym with his boys for a father-son workout, we have heart eyes for Wade all the time.
Zayn Malik puts the Z in 'zaddy' — have you seen his heart-melting eyes, goosebump-inducing tattoos, and sexy style? And don't even get us started on his velvety voice.
The singer shares daughter Khai with ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, and although they're no longer romantically involved, Malik prioritizes healthy co-parenting for the sake of their little girl.
One of the original hotties in his McSteamy days, Patrick Dempsey puts the 'd' in 'daddy.' The dad of three — daughter Talula and twin sons Sullivan and Darby — is officially in his Silver Fox era, though we remember that jet-black head of curls like it was yesterday.
Jason Momoa says he doesn't spend much time in the gym — he stays in shape largely by playing with his kids Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, whom he shares with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, and he's as humble as he is hot.
'It's just genetics,' he told Men's Health in 2020 of his famous physique. 'Hawaiians are big people.' Fellow hot dad The Rock is also from Hawaii, so maybe Momoa has a valid point. Even so, his tattoos, long locks, and piercing gaze are disarming, to say the least.
There's no denying Jamie Dornan is one of Hollywood's hottest dads — the man did play Christain Grey, after all.
The British beau shares three daughters — Dulcie, Elva, and Alberta — with his wife, musician Amelia Warner. In 2022 on International Women's Day, Dornan shared a photo of his girls captioned, 'I'm nothing but a pile of dust without this crew. 💚 #internatinalwomensday.' It really doesn't get any sexier than that, but his blue eyes and curly hair don't hurt either.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is always down for a pretend tea party with his daughter Jasmine, watching Moana with his youngest daughter Tiana (who still isn't convinced that her dad voiced the film's Maui character), or supporting his eldest daughter Simone's WWE career — all the while maintaining his bulging muscles and pearly white smile, which we can't help but ogle at.
Ryan Gosling will go down in history as one of love's greatest storytellers for his role in The Notebook, and just like history, our love for him (and his good looks) will never die.
Although they keep their family life super private, Gosling and wife Eva Mendes share two daughters, Esmerelda and Amada. Mendes eats up her hubby's handsome face just as much as the rest of us — in a rare show of internet PDA, she shared a few shots from his 2022 Gucci campaign, captioned, 'Ummm…… YES PLEASE.' We hope she and Blake Lively make a hot famous dads fan club.
Megan Markle has said that watching her husband, Prince Harry, become a dad has been 'the most beautiful thing to watch,' and we totally agree. Add his charming ginger hair, athletic build, and Diana blue eyes, and we've got a fairytale-come-true of a prince on our hands.
The couple share a son, Archie Harrison, and a daughter, Lilibet Diana.
Mark Consuelos plays the hot dad in Riverdale for a reason — he's a hot dad IRL. Married to Kelly Ripa with three children (Michael, Lola, and Joaquin), Consuelos shows both his dad moments and daddy moments on his Instagram, and we're so here for them both.
George Clooney has been praised as one of Hollywood's hottest men for decades, and his looks really do get better with age — he's truly the poster child for the Silver Fox trope.
The iconic actor shares twins Alexander and Ella with his wife, human rights attorney Amal Clooney. Of his kids and being an older dad (still so hot), Clooney told People, 'They're funny, and they pull pranks on me. I just look at them thinking, I couldn't be happier and I couldn't be more surprised at how happy I am.'
Machine Gun Kelly is a punk rock heartthrob, and even Megan Fox can't resist the 'angel-faced baby.' The actor and musician is dad to daughter Casie, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon, and a daughter with Fox. Now that she's a teen, Kelly often takes Casie along with him on tour, sharing behind-the-scenes moments together in addition to his usual eclectic (and undeniably hot) outfit pics.
NFL player Russell Wilson became more appealing to wife Ciara as a father, she told GQ in February 2021. 'He's obviously really beautiful to me in every way, but the father in him is by far one of the things that makes him the most sexy to me. Hot. To me it's hot.'
The couple is parents to sons Future (whom Ciara shares with her ex, rapper Future) and Win, and daughters Sienna and Amora.
Papa to Bodhi Soleil, whom he shares with actress and wife Nikki Reed, Ian Somerhalder's bad boy role as Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries locked him into daddy status well before he actually became a daddy.
Reed marveled at Somerhalder's presence as a parent, writing of him on Instagram, 'Even with the insurmountable workload you take on, world traveling + business building, you still wake up excited as ever for a park day or smoothie run with your cub.' We love a driven, devoted, dapper daddy, and this one checks all three boxes.
Justin Hartley stole our hearts in This Is Us, and our hearts still race when we see him on the big screen — or on our phone screens. The actor is dad to daughter Isabella, whom he shares with ex-wife Lindsay Korman, and we can't get enough of both his dad moments and his daddy moments.
LeBron James is the definition of a tall drink of water. Clocking in at 6'9″ and nothing but muscle from head to toe, James gets our heart rates up both on and off the court. We love a dad in uniform, but his street style is also 12/10.
The NBA pro shares three kids — sons LeBron 'Bronny' and Bryce, and daughter Zhuri — with his wife, Savannah. Whether he's posting sweet snaps with his kids or thirst traps, we're here for both all day, every day.
From Wolverine to The Greatest Showman, Hugh Jackman can do it all — all the while looking dreamy and caring for his two kids, Oscar and Ava, whom he shares with wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
It doesn't get any dreamier than this quote from the actor: 'The love I have for my wife is so intense, but nothing prepared me for the love I have for my kids. That feeling is overwhelming. The thought of them being in any trouble, any pain. … I would do anything to avoid it. I would jump in front of a bus for them. I had about an hour at a supermarket where I lost my son and let me tell you, it was the longest hour of my life.'
James Marsden proved he's a dreamboat in The Notebook and 27 Dresses, and like several other hot dads on this list, he's only getting finer with age.
The actor shares son Jack and daughter Mary with his ex-wife, Lisa Linde, and he also has a son, William, with ex-girlfriend Rose Costa. Of fatherhood, he told People, 'Of all my achievements in life, being a father is the one thing I'm most proud of. It is the most fulfilling. I'm always self-deprecating, but I don't have a problem saying that I am a great dad.'

We Were Liars: TV Show vs. Book Differences
We Were Liars, the new Prime Video series from showrunners Julie Plec and Carina Adly Mackenzie that's a juicy mishmash of YA romance, vacation mystery, and Succession-y family drama, also happens to be based on the very popular novel by E. Lockhart. If you're too curious about what was different in the book or how the show handled *that* ending, here's the 411 on the adaptation. The basic story, characters, and relationships are the same. There will be spoilers ahead, uh, obviously. Starting with the big one because I am no liar! We Were Liars is about a seventeen year-old girl named Cadence Sinclair working through post-traumatic amnesia after a fire she helped set killed her cousin Johnny, her cousin Mirren, and her childhood best friend/boyfriend Gatwick "Gat" Patil. Her amnesia and trauma is represented by the ghosts of those three dead teenagers, who used to call themselves "the Liars" when they spent summers growing up on the Sinclair family's private island called Beachwood. Every time a living person tries to tell her what happens, she has a panic attack and forgets all over again. The fire occurred after a dramatic summer caused the Liars to become disillusioned with their picture perfect, privileged family. On the show and in the book, we see that fateful summer unfold as Cadence remembers the truth. There are some small changes to the narrative in the adaptation. For example: Mirren's younger brother Taft is simply not in the show! His character is basically combined with Johnny's younger brother William. Here are the bigger changes: In the book: Grandma Tipper dies between Summer 14 and Summer 15, and the fire happens at the end of Summer 15. We spent time with Cadence at home in Vermont recovering from her physical injuries and recalling sporadic memories. She spends Summer 16 in Europe with her father. Almost two years later, during Summer 17, Cadence returns to the island seeking the truth and reunites with the Liars' ghosts. In the show: All of the tragic events happened in Summer 16. We never see Cadence's life in Vermont outside of a hair dye montage. Just one year after the accident, Cadence goes back on the island for all of what would have been Summer 17, working with the ghosts of the Liars to figure out what happened. In the book: Johnny gets more and more distressed, Mirren gets more and more sick, and Gat gets more and more angsty about resuming his relationship with Cadence. The house where they're "staying" gets progressively messier with clutter and dirty dishes. In the show: The ghosts are the tiniest bit, well, friendlier and there's no mess for Cadence to clean up. I guess that wouldn't make for compelling TV. In the book: Cadence processes her mental state by telling the reader fairy tales in which she casts her family members and Gat as kings, princesses, princes, fire-breathing dragons and outcast mice. In the show: There are fairy tales in voiceover, and the Sinclair family Father's Day tradition has some on the nose King Lear vibes... but that's it. Instead, since the show is only partially from Cadence's POV, we do learn a little more about her cousins and aunts. They have interests and love lives that the book doesn't get as into. In the book: The ground floor caught fire too fast because Cadence, who was in charge of that section, used too much gas and started on the wrong side of the house to ensure a safe exit for everyone. That trapped Gat in the basement and her cousins (and the dogs) upstairs. In the series: Gat was waiting outside in the boat, and ran into the fire when he didn't see Cadence and her cousins leaving the house as planned. Mirren and Johnny got trapped because they were distracted–Mirren by one of her paintings in her mom's room and Johnny by one last opportunity to smash things–and the smoke rose more quickly than they anticipated. Cadence thinks she threw off the plan by running upstairs to grab her grandmother's black pearl necklace. But since she ran back inside moments after to try and rescue the sleeping dogs they all forgot about (I'll never be over that BTW) what happened is not so much her fault as it is in the book. In the book: Cadence suspects that her mom, Penny, knows the truth about the fire. But the important thing is that Cadence has resolved to be a better, more considerate person and own her responsibility and her place in her "evil" family. In the series: Cadence's grandfather, Harris, definitely knows the truth about the fire. He names her as a successor to her family's complicated legacy and urges her to keep the lie he's told the family and the press: that the fire was an accident and she was a hero who tried to save everyone. But she runs away, neither admitting to what really happened or maintaining the fairy. She's still very against the family. Will this be resolved in a potential Season 2? There's always room for more character growth... right? There are some references in the series to things that book readers would only know if they'd read the prequel Family of Liars, like another horrible summer and what happened to the fourth Sinclair sister Rosemary, so fingers crossed!

Prince Harry Sets Return to the UK After Claiming He'd ‘Only' Come Back Home For a ‘Funeral'
Every family has family drama; it's just that when you're the British royal family, that family drama is something everyone is interested in. That's turned into a big issue, particularly considering King Charles is ill, and he and Prince William are in the middle of a feud with Prince Harry. Not to mention, divorce rumors are always flying, both about Prince William and Kate Middleton and about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Prince Harry recently said in an interview that he's looking for a reconciliation, especially as he doesn't know how much time his father has left. But his recent loss in the case involving his security also means he has refused to bring his wife and kids to the UK, due to safety concerns, even going as far as to say he couldn't imagine a situation where it would make sense for them to visit. That makes a family reunion all the more unlikely. More from StyleCaster Harry & Meghan Just Snubbed Their Sussex Past After William Went After Their Kids For Their Royal Titles William Just Involved Archie & Lilibet in His Feud With Harry as He Goes After His Brother For the 'Ultimate Windsor Crime' Related: See what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth However, there's an upcoming event that might change all of that, the Invictus Games in Birmingham. Both Harry and Meghan have attended all the recent Invictus Games, with one royal observer saying, 'The Invictus Games have so far been unmissable for Harry and Meghan.' The two attended the last games in Vancouver and before in Düsseldorf. In fact, in 2022, Meghan even paid tribute to Harry during the opening ceremony of the COVID-postponed games in The Hague. There's still a long time until Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have to worry about this eventuality, though. The Invictus Games are set to happen in Birmingham from July 10-17, 2027. Competitors are set to participate in nine core sports, with three new additions – e-sports, pickleball, and laser run. 'We are thrilled to officially announce the confirmed dates for Invictus Games Birmingham 2027,' Helen Helliwell, CEO of Birmingham 2027, said. 'These Games will shine a light on Birmingham's incredible community spirit and the West Midlands' strong commitment to supporting the recovery and rehabilitation of our Armed Forces community.' And though this is in no way a confirmation of Harry's presence, he did address the next games during the opening ceremony in Vancouver by saying: 'Bring on Invictus Birmingham 2027. You have permission to party!' The Invictus Games are a biannual sporting competition for injured service personnel. They have become, at this point, a big part of the Sussex brand. So, it's likely Prince Harry will find a way to be there, though the presence of Meghan Markle might still be in doubt. Still, a lot can happen from now to 2027. All of this comes after Prince Harry said in his latest BBC interview that, the 'only time I come back to the U.K. is, sadly, for funerals or court cases.' Sources even told Fox News that they don't expect the brothers to see each other again unless Charles dies. 'The funeral of Charles would be the first time that courtiers would imagine [them reuniting],' the source said. 'I can't imagine William would invite Harry to his coronation.' But if anything's going to bring Harry back home outside of that, it might just be the Invictus Games.

William & Kate Already ‘Preparing' George, Charlotte & Louis For ‘Future Roles' Amid Charles ‘Incurable' Cancer
There's no doubt that King Charles' illness has accelerated the timeline for succession, or at least the timeline for preparations in the UK. The King has returned to most of his duties, but his age and his illness have made the British Royal Family very aware of the reality that there will soon be another King. And preparations for that have already started, with reports indicating that Prince William and Kate Middleton's roles are already starting to resemble this reality. Perhaps the clearest sign of this is King Charles pretty much deferring to Prince William's preferences when it comes to how they've handled the feud with Prince Harry. Reports indicate King Charles hasn't wanted to take too harsh a stance on his son, but Prince William isn't of the same line of thinking. King Charles has, so far, not taken any steps that might be hard for William to come back from when he is King. More from StyleCaster William Seen Looking 'Sad & Subdued' as Kate Faces 'Major Shifts' Amid Her Cancer Diagnosis Kate Middleton Suffers Devastating Setback as She Faces 'Major Shifts' Amid Her Cancer Diagnosis Related: See what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth And, of course, the preparations for a possible succession don't just include Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton. They also, necessarily, involve their three kids: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. All of this comes amid reports that King Charles' cancer is reportedly incurable, but manageable. Royal writer and associate editor of the Daily Telegraph, Camilla Tominey wrote, 'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program.' This presumably ties into how William and Kate are preparing their kids going forward. It all started with the trio making their first appearance of summer 2025 at Trooping the Colour. The family then posted a picture of all of them on Instagram. On Father's Day, another picture was shared, now of the kids with their father, Prince William. Royal expert and author Robert Jobson discussed the preparations with Hello! magazine. 'It's all about William now, and him preparing Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis for their future roles in the next decade or so,' Jobson told the outlet. 'William takes his responsibilities to the institution, to his father, to his family, very seriously. You see that in the way he looks and the way he acts. He has grown into the role of supporting his father and being a King in waiting.' This reportedly includes the understanding that Prince George has a different burden to bear than his siblings, as the firstborn. That's reportedly why, on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Prince George attended a tea party for veterans with his parents. His siblings were not present. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror, about it. '[It] may be the only opportunity George will ever have of speaking to men and women who served their King and country during the war.' She added, 'It's a lesson that will serve him well in the future…One day he will be Chief of the Armed Forces himself, and he may well look back at some of those conversations and be glad that he had the chance to meet some of the few remaining veterans.'
