“Portrait of Queen and three
heirs marks the start of a new decade”

next three heirs to the throne has been released to mark the start of the new
decade. It shows the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince George
standing with the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The new photograph was taken in
the week before Christmas, but has not been published until now. It is the
second official portrait of the four generations of royals together. The Queen,
93, standing at the front of her family, wears a white dress with a blue brooch
and clutches a handbag. Her son, Prince Charles, who is dressed in a pinstripe
suit, stands on the first step behind her. His arm rests on the shoulder of his
six-year-old grandson, who is wearing a pair of green and navy tartan trousers.
Prince William, wearing a dark suit and navy tie, stands with his hands
together to the right of his grandmother. The photograph was taken by Ranald
Mackechnie, who was also responsible for the only other portrait of the four
royals together. A portrait of the four
