The Royal Family is honouring the late Queen Elizabeth II, on what would have been Her Majesty’s 97th birthday, with a new portrait.
The photo, taken by The Princess of Wales, was captured at Balmoral Castle last summer and features the queen surrounded by some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The queen appears perched on a light green tufted sofa, wearing a button up blouse, tartan skirt and black cardigan. She is flanked by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Lady Louise Windsor, James, Earl of Wessex, Savannah Phillips, Isla Phillips, Lena Tindall, Mia Tindall, and Lucas Philip Tindall.
Members of the monarchy, including Prince William and wife Kate Middleton, shared the touching tribute taken in one of the queen’s most beloved locations to their social media accounts.
The Royal Family also shared an additional photo of the queen to their Facebook page, outlining the history of her unexpected rise to the throne.
