30 Times Queen Elizabeth Was the Ultimate Grandma

When she couldn't resist tickling her grandson.

This time she had Zara sit on her lap.

And held her hand to prevent any mishaps.

All the times she had everyone over for Christmas.

When she passed down her favorite hobby.

And never passed up a teaching moment.

When she reads to her grandkids.

And takes them on special outings.

And even let them bring their toys.

All the times she took them on cool trips.

And made them go to church with her.

When she visited the Phillips children at school.

And oohed over a science project.

And watched a gymnastics performance.

This time she made sure Princess Beatrice could see.

When she made Prince William and Prince Harry giggle.

When she's the perfect role model.

When she made Prince Harry crack up at a very serious moment.

And Prince William too.

Every time she makes everyone take a family picture.

When she insists on getting a hello kiss.

This time she fussed with Lady Louise's hat.

When she picks up presents for her grandkids everywhere.

And wants lots of life updates.

The fact that she has a special cake recipe.

And loves her great-grandkids oh-so-much.

This moment right here.

When she worried about her little daredevil.

Go light on foundation.

When she (probably) told a cheeky joke.

30 Times Queen Elizabeth Was the Ultimate Grandma

With four children, eight grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren, Queen Elizabeth II knows a thing or two about being a grandmother. The monarch first stepped into the role in 1977 with the birth of Peter Phillips, and she just welcomed great-grandson Prince Louis into the family four months ago. While she's Her Royal Highness to the rest of the world, here's why she's also the best "Gan-Gan" behind closed palace doors.

She's not just a regular grandma — she's a *cool* grandma.
