In a delightful display of family joy, the royal family has unveiled a series of relaxed portraits in celebration of Prince Edward’s 70th birthday. Captured in the gardens of Clarence House, this stunning collection includes all the family members, from the youngest princes and princesses to a glowing Meghan Middleton, who is visibly pregnant. One image, in particular, stands out as the most candid and cheerful we’ve ever seen from this illustrious clan.
“Two new photographs of The Duke of Edinburgh and his family have been released to honor HRH’s 70th birthday,” the announcement stated. The images show a charming balance of official and informal vibes — just look at those joyful kids!
Witnessing the royal family in such a relaxed atmosphere is heartwarming. Little Oliver is seen chuckling in his grandfather’s lap, while Princess Amelia beams as she cuddles up to her step-grandmother, who wraps her in a warm embrace. Baby Henry, looking adorably plump, adds to the sweetness of the moment. It’s simply too much cuteness in one frame.
We also catch a glimpse of the royal newlyweds. Meghan Middleton radiates happiness alongside her husband, Prince James, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, William and Kate, are all smiles as Kate manages little Henry.
Photographer James Thornton shared his thoughts on these portraits via social media, expressing his joy at being chosen to capture these special moments. “After photographing the Duke for the past 15 years, from events in Nigeria to Japan, I was thrilled to take these family portraits in such a relaxed setting,” he shared.
This is not the first time we’ve seen the family together in an endearing manner. Remember the stunning wedding portrait of Meghan and James? And just a few months later, they gathered again for baby Henry’s baptism.
The family has had an eventful week, as the “Fabulous Four” appeared together for Remembrance Day services at Westminster Abbey. Meghan proudly displayed her growing baby bump in a chic navy suit while holding hands with James.
As we move into mid-November, we eagerly await the official Christmas portrait from William and Kate’s family.
