Royals share unseen photo of Queen Elizabeth with her great-grandchildren
The royal family have shared a touching tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth on what would have been her 97th birthday.
The late monarch was beaming as she was pictured with some of her grand-children and great-grandchildren, in a sweet snap taken by the Princess of Wales in Balmoral last summer.
“Today would have been Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s 97th birthday. This photograph - showing her with some of her grandchildren and great grandchildren - was taken at Balmoral last summer,” they captioned the photo shared on Instagram.
Queen Elizabeth was pictured with two of her grandchildren and eight of her 12 great-grandchildren.
In the photo, Lady Louise Windsor and her brother James, Viscount Severn, stood tall and proud behind their grandmother.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis stood in the second row alongside Isla Phillips, 11, and four-year-old Lena Tindall, who was perched on the left arm of the sofa with a cheeky grin on her face.
The eldest of the late Monarch's great-grandchildren, Savannah Phillips, 12, sat next to her great-grandmother looking particularly poised in a dotted red dress.
Mia Tindall, nine, sat on the other side of the late Queen, while carefully holding her baby brother, Lucas, in her lap.
However, some of the great-grandchildren were missing including the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the son of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, and the daughter of Princess Beatrice and Edo Mappeli Mozzi.
The Instagram post comes seven months after the Queen's death.
