Queen Elizabeth II, 96, shared a rare photo of her with her late father, King George VI, in honor of Father's Day this weekend.

The Royal Family is all about, well, family, so it shouldn't be surprising that they love to celebrate theirs and others around the world when the time comes — and unlike Mother's Day, the UK celebrates Father's Day on the same day as us in North America. Emotional tributes to fathers are common for Father's Day, the Royal Family were no different — including a rare throwback picture from The Queen herself shared to Instagram.

Many members of the Royal Family took to Instagram to honor fathers on Father's Day.

Including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, who shared a photo of William with his children George, Charlotte, and Louis cheesing for the camera with the caption, "Wishing a Happy Father's Day to fathers and grandfathers across the world today!"
