The royal family’s Instagram account has recently published a series of candid photos from last weekend of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their three children — and we can’t get over how fast they’re growing up!
With Meghan Markle and Prince Harry having just tied the knot one year ago and just welcomed their first child earlier this month, some of us may have been putting our other favorite royal couple on the back-burner.
But FYI, William and Kate seem to be doing very well these days, and their kids are growing up at what feels like lightning speeds.
RELATED STORIES
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have three children.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
They’re all equally adorable.
William and Kate got married in April 2011.
It was the biggest event of the year. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up watching the ceremony on TV.
They are OG #CoupleGoals.
They had their first child in July 2013 and named him George Alexander Louis.
Prince George is third in line for the throne, behind his grandfather Prince Charles and his father.
Next came Princess Charlotte, AKA, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, in May 2015.
Charlotte is fourth in line for the throne, behind her older brother, George, her father, and grandfather.
And last but not least, we have the youngest child of William and Kate, Prince Louis — born in April 2018.
You guessed it, Louis Arthur Charles, is fifth in line for the British throne.
So, there you have it. The cutest family of five you’ve ever laid eyes on.
And these kids are growing up fast .
George is nearly six years old, Charlotte just turned four, and Louis is one.
Here’s a photo of them from the end of 2018, looking like the perfect family fashion ad for Old Navy.
Prince George’s pose in this photo is everything .
On Sunday afternoon, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their three children, visited the Chelsea Flower Show.
And lucky for us, they documented their afternoon in the six most precious family photos I’ve ever seen.
The photos were taken to capture the showcase that Kate designed.
The exhibit, called “Back to Nature Garden,” was designed by Kate along with award-winning landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White of Davies White Landscape Architects.
“The woodland wilderness garden aims to get people back to nature, and highlight the benefits of the natural world on our mental and physical wellbeing,” Kensington Palace’s Instagram caption described it.
The royal family’s Instagram captioned the six-photo slide, explaining that George, Charlotte, and Louis helped their mother put the showcase together.
“Over the past months, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have helped The Duchess gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate the ‘Back to Nature Garden’. Hazel sticks collected by the family were also used to make the garden’s den.”
“I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young children. I really hope that this woodland that we have created really inspires families,” Kate said in an interview with BBC.
“Kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together,” she continued .
But what makes these photos so great is how candid they are.
William and Kate are in full-blown parenting-mode, instead of being polished and posing for a family portrait.
This is the most picturesque father and son moment — William is giving us peak papa-bear vibes here.
It looks like Kate definitely accomplished her goal of getting the family to spend some quality time together closer to nature.
And I cannot believe how much Princess Charlotte has grown.
She was a newborn baby, and then I blinked , and suddenly she’s a toddler — literally swinging from trees.
