When you think of the royal family, thoughts of tea, biscuits, crowns and the word posh might immediately come to mind, right?
But it turns out that the royal fam are humans, and cameras were around to capture some of those very candid moments.
Meghan is overcome.
Have you ever seen something so cute that you need to take a minute?
Because that’s Meghan at that tiny jersey for Archie, and also me at this adorable picture of her.

Princess Charlotte shoots her shot.
Oh, you thought Princess Charlotte was going to give the crowd a wave? So did Kate…until Charlotte pulled a fast one on her.
Who can blame her? Sometimes a kid just has to be a kid.
Harry, William, and Kate get competitive.
At a relay race at Olympic Park in 2017, Harry, Kate, and William hopped on the track to race each other.
Harry’s face really says it all: he was determined to beat his brother.
Harry hams it up.
At the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto, Harry sat with Hayley Henson (wife of British Paralympian Dave Henson)and her daughter, Emily.
When Emily went to grab some popcorn, Harry playfully pulled it away. Don’t worry, though — he eventually shared!
The Queen drives herself.
A driver? Never heard of him. Queen Elizabeth drives her own self around, thank you very much.
This didn’t happen just once — the queen has been photographed driving her own ride quite a few times.
William gives Kate a fan.
Listen, if the role of your significant other isn’t to do your bidding when you’re hot, what’s the point?
Jk. But it was super cute that William and a Commonwealth Games worker fanned Kate down when she got overheated.
Charlotte has a meltdown.
It’s hard to be a little kid! Especially one in such a hugely public spotlight.
Charlotte had a small moment while out at an event with her mom. It’s nice to know even royal kids aren’t immune from a meltdown.
William, Kate, and Harry nerd out.
There’s…so much going on here.
They’re standing on the set of Diagon Alley, Harry has a wand with some kind of weird topper on it, Kate is scared of something on the ground, and William is…William.
Camilla threatens Charles with a knife.
I’m sorry, but them doing a bit where he’s afraid she’s going to stab him is weirdly wholesome.
I feel like Charles’ face there is great for memes, so I’m gonna be using that from now on. Thanks.
Elizabeth is her husband’s own paparazzi.
In 2000, Philip was competing at The Royal Windsor Horse Show. The Queen popped out of the car and grabbed her own camera, snapping a picture of him doing his thing.
Why is this so friggin’ adorable?
Harry gets some cupcakes.
You know what? That is totally what I look like whenever I see a cupcake.
Or a dog. Dogs are also super exciting.
Anyway, Harry gave out those cupcakes to fans who were waiting in the rain, because he’s a nice dude.
Charles gets freaked out by an eagle.
Listen, I know we’re all concentrating on Charles ducking backwards and on Camilla’s frown, but let’s not sleep on the expression of the man behind them trying not to laugh.
Prince William does yoga.
No, really.
During the Audi Polo Challenge, William broke out the yoga for a quick warmup before golfing.
Yoga? In jeans? In public? I don’t know why he made those choices, but I am enjoying them.
Camilla goes in on some ice cream with middling results.
Aw man, remember that time you got ice cream on your face and hands while your friend, Judi Dench, watched?
Maybe that was just me. Anyway, please enjoy this random collision of people snacking on ice cream that looks delicious.
Harry gets acquainted with a shark.
There’s nothing quite like answering the age-old question of: where’s your head in that thing?
Only Harry would get away with getting that close to a shark and living to tell the tale. Tail? We’ll workshop it.
