New Photos of the Royal Family: Elizabeth II and Three Heirs
A family portrait marking the start of a new decade.
Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by three heirs to the throne: the British royal family has released a new family portrait. This was reported by the BBC.
The royal family said the photos were taken “to mark the start of a new decade”. The photograph in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace was taken by Ranald Mackechnie a week before Christmas (December 25), but the picture was only published now.
In the portrait, the queen stands next to her eldest son, Prince Charles, her grandson, Prince William, and her great-grandson, Prince George.
The new photo was taken on December 18, when the royal family gathered to take part in a charity event: preparing Christmas pudding for veterans.
The same photographer also took the previous joint photo of the British monarch and her direct heirs. That photo was taken to mark the queen's 90th birthday in 2016. Prince George was then 3 years old, wore shorts, as small boys in the royal family traditionally do, and stood on a special stand.
All three heirs were first photographed together with the queen in 2013, when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first child, George, was born.
