The Royals Get Adorably Candid in Prince Charles' Birthday Portraits

From Harper's BAZAAR

The royal family has released a new set of portraits in honor of Prince Charles' 70th birthday on November 14. The Prince of Wales is all smiles posing with his wife, sons, and grandkids: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

One of the photos shows the family of nine-dressed in a blue and white color scheme-smiling on an outdoor bench, but the candid version of the shot has won us over.

Meghan is bent over in laughter, Prince George's face is lit up, and Duchess Camilla points to something out of frame with an arm around Princess Charlotte. We wonder what might've caught the royal clan's attention.

Another photo released shows Prince Charles holding his Prince Louis after his christening in July. The proud grandfather beams as he holds up his youngest grandson, who's still wearing the baptismal gown from the ceremony.

The palace previously released photos from Louis' christening over the summer, but it seems they saved this special shot with grandpa for later.

A new photo of Prince Charles and Prince Louis was just released last week, likely from the photoshoot unveiled today. Kate Middleton also makes an appearance, and she's wearing the same polka dot dress in both shots.

The image shows the Duchess of Cambridge carrying Louis as Charles holds his hands. The Prince of Wales is looking forward to having another grandchild to fawn over, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting a baby in Spring 2019.
