British Monarchy: First Photograph of Four Generations Since Queen Victoria

October 31, 2013

According to The Telegraph:

One picture…shows the Queen posing with the next three kings of Britain…the first such photograph for 114 years.

The last similar occasion was in 1899, when an 80-year-old Queen Victoria posed with her direct successors Edward VII, George V and Edward VIII.

This time, the Queen, who is 87, is pictured with her son the Prince of Wales, 64, grandson the Duke of Cambridge, 31, and three-month-old great-grandson Prince George.

Although the photographs are formal…, the setting is far more intimate than the grand State rooms of Buckingham Palace where other royal portraits have been shot in the past.
