A historic new portrait has been released by the British royal family, showing the Queen posing alongside the next three heirs to the throne.
To mark the start of the new decade, photographer Ranald Mackechnie snapped a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.
This is only the second official portrait of the Queen and her heirs, as the first was released in April 2016 to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday.
