It truly is what we’ve all been waiting for – a look at the new British Royal Family since the additions of baby Prince Louis and newly minted Duchess of Sussex – Meghan Markle.

And now, in honour of the Prince of Wales’ 70th birthday, Clarence House and the British Royal Family have gifted to us two beautiful family photos.

By the looks of the snaps, it was taken on the same day as last week’s image of doting grandpa Prince Charles with Prince Louis and Kate Middleton.

I was delighted to have been asked to take these portraits of The Prince of Wales surrounded by his family to celebrate the important milestone of his 70th Birthday. It was particularly special to capture such an informal and relaxed family portrait over a fun afternoon in the gardens of Clarence House.

It’s been a full on birthday celebration for Prince Charles, who just last week starred in a celebratory BBC documentary Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70, which features a photo with baby Louis!

The proud granddad, who turned 70 on November 14, was snapped by Jackson.

He is gazing adoringly at Kate and Prince William’s youngest child, as they stand in the garden of Clarence House.

The snap, taken in September, shows Baby Cambridge being held in his mother’s arms, giggling and cluthching his grandfather with his little hands.

Clearly loving the little ones, the documentary shows Charles in a new light showing him swinging his other grandchildren by their hands, in a cute moment of a garden party with his wife Duchess Camilla’s family.

Prince William spoke candidly about his dad admitting he wished he was able to spend more time with the children.

“I think he does have time for it, but I would like him to have more time with the children.”

Duchess Camilla shared, “He will get down on his knees and crawl about with them for hours, you know making funny noises and laughing and my grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him.” 

But the most heartwarming detail is that the Prince of Wales reads his little ones Harry Potter.

“He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices and I think children really appreciate that.”
