This lovely family photo was taken shortly before the Queen’s death

The Queen would have turned 97 on Friday. That’s why William and Kate share a previously unseen photo of the late monarch with the youngest members of the royal family.

Prince William and Princess Kate honor the late Queen Elizabeth II, who would have celebrated her 97th birthday on April 21, 2023, with a special photo. It shows her with two grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Kate is credited as the photographer; the photo was taken last summer at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. So days or weeks before the queen’s death. The Prince and Princess of Wales did not give an exact date.

In the family photo, Elizabeth II sits in the middle of a light green couch, wearing a plaid skirt, a dark blue blouse and a black cardigan over it. Her glasses are on her lap. The queen smiles reluctantly.

Some of their descendants have gathered around them. Pictured at the far back are the Queen’s only two grandchildren: Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, the children of the current Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Edward and Sophie.

On the couch are Mia and Lucas Tindall, the children of granddaughters Zara and Mike Tindall, and Savannah Phillips, the eldest daughter of grandson Peter Phillips and his ex-wife Autumn Kelly. Sitting in the front row behind the sofa, from left to right: Lena Tindall, Prince George and Princess Charlotte (William and Kate’s two older children), Isla Phillips and the now Welsh couple’s newborn, Prince Louis.

The great-grandchildren are missing August Brooksbank, son of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Sienna Mapelli Mozzi, daughter of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and the children of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral Castle on September 8, 2022 at the age of 96. Exactly where the now published photo was taken. Her son, now King Charles III, succeeded her to the throne. He will be crowned at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6.
