The photo appears to have been taken around the end of 2016, whenPrincess Charlottewould have been around 18 months and all the other young royals would have been between 2 and 6 years old — quite a brood to control, but clearly, the Queen and Philip had it under control!
Closer to the Queen at Wednesday’s audience was a more familiar photo — a2018 group shottaken whenPrince Louis, now 3, was still just a tot — the royals' shared that image for the first time this past April just five days after Prince Philip’sdeathat the age of 99.
