Princess Kate took inspiration from royal archives for new family photo – details
The Princess of Wales took to Instagram to share an adorable family photo for her husband Prince William’s 42nd birthday, but royal fans may have noticed certain similarities between this photograph and video footage of their grandparents, 67 years earlier.
In the photo, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and their dad are all smiles as they leap from a sand dune onto the beach.
Footage from the royal archives shown on the BBC programme Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute, Princess Anne, a young King Charles, and the late Prince Phillip can be seen playing in the same sand dunes on Holkham beach in Norfolk.
“Holkham was a bit off the beaten track. It does look almost completely empty which you wouldn’t find now. But it was a public beach even then. It’s a big beach,” adds the Princess Royal.
The beach, named one of the best white sand beaches in the UK, has lots of happy memories for the royals, as it is located close to the Sandringham Estate. The beach was a favourite walking spot for both the late Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother to walk their corgis along
