This is the reason the Royals were laughing in Charles portrait

It's one of our favourite Royal family photos!

It was one of the rare royal candid moments Kensington Palace has shared with us, but what were the Royal family giggling at during Prince Charles 70th birthday portrait?

In what was a very un-royal move, Kensington Palace shared an official photo of the family in a fit of laughter with Princess Charlotte staring off to the side intrigued, while Camilla pointed at someone off camera.

Well, according to Express we now know the culprit of all the hilarity, it was Charlotte and George’s nanny acting up off camera in an attempt to make the children smile.

Express reports that Maria Borrallo, who has worked with Prince William and Kate since George was 8 months old, was pulling funny faces next to the photographer so that Charlotte and George would smile for the family photo.

As the Royal family prepared to take a serious photo, Borrallo’s antics caught the attention of the other Royals, which resulted in Meghan hunched over in a fit of giggles and leaving George with a huge grin on his face while sitting on Prince Charles lap.
