In a delightful glimpse into royal life, photographer Chris Jackson shares his experiences capturing the charming moments of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and the ever-mischievous Prince Louis. Recently, Louis took center stage at the 2025 Trooping the Colour, where his enthusiastic waves and playful interactions with excited crowds had Jackson chuckling behind the lens. Watching the youngest royal become the life of the party reminds us that even in the world of monarchy, a child’s playful spirit can light up any formal occasion.
Jackson’s new book, Modern Majesty: The British Royal Family Today, features hundreds of these candid images, illustrating the balance between royal duty and family warmth. Amidst the traditional pomp, there are touching moments at home—like King Charles III tending to his chickens—demonstrating that royals, too, find joy in life’s simple pleasures. With photographs that capture these heartwarming dynamics, Jackson invites us to see the royal family in a more relatable light. Who knows? Maybe Prince Louis is just the punchline we need to remind us that laughter and love are the true foundations of family life.
