The photos has managed to capture the hearts of fans with its informal nature, similar to another family photo with Prince Charles and his brother Prince Harry.

Earlier this week, royals fans were delighted by more formal pictures of Prince William and Kate Middleton as the pair stepped in for the Queen as the principal members of the royal family attending the Royal Ascot races on Friday.
The Cambridges led the traditional carriage procession along Ascot racecourse, a position which until the COVID-19 pandemic had been taken by the Queen, who is a passionate horsewoman.
William and Kate's premiere position on the fourth day of the racing event comes as the 96-year-old queen has reduced her number of public appearances after a series of health scares last fall, and what Buckingham Palace have officially called "episodic mobility problems."
The Queen recently celebrated a weekend of events marking her Platinum Jubilee, however, her health caused her to miss all but two public appearances, the opening and closing balcony gatherings at Buckingham Palace.
After the first of these appearances, following the Trooping the Colour, Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen experienced "some discomfort" and would not be in attendance at the national service of thanksgiving the following day.
This was the only Jubilee event where the public were able to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle take part since they moved to the U.S. in 2020.
