Highlights
- Princess Charlotte poses with her gan-gan and cousins
- The portrait was taken in Windsor Castle's Green Drawing Room
- It was taken to mark Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday
First, Prince George stole the scene in this photo of four generations of UK royals set to be used in a British stamp to mark the Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday.
The picture trended on Twitter, gave rise to several memes but mostly had enough cuteness to melt the stoniest heart.
The picture, featuring Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George, was taken last summer at Buckingham Palace.
However, giving him tough competition in the cuteness department is his almost one-year-old sister Princess Charlotte in this newly released picture to celebrate the Queen's birthday.
Princess Charlotte poses with her gan-gan and several cousins - and we must say, she's grabbed the best spot in the picture, or the whole wide world, to be clicked in.
The portrait, taken in Windsor Castle's Green Drawing Room, shows Queen Elizabeth II posing with her many great-grandchildren.
The others pictured are James, Viscount Severn, 8, and Lady Louise, 12, the children of The Earl and Countess of Wessex; Mia Tindall (the little girl holding The Queen's handbag), the two year-old-daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall; Savannah, 5, and Isla Phillips, 3, daughters of The Queen's eldest grandson Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn.
Prince George looks adorable standing next to the Queen and that's little Charlotte, the youngest great-grandchild, in The Queen's arms, as is the tradition of Royal portraiture.
We're sure Prince William and Kate Middleton are very proud.
