Eagles are majestic creatures, but getting this up close and personal with one was a startling moment for then-Prince Charles. We get it, that bird is giant.

Not sure what was bothering her, but we’re guessing someone parked in her spot. We’ve all been there!

File this one under: We’re not sure what exactly Prince Harry is doing, but we’re glad he’s doing it.

The princes are just a wee bit competitive. Brothers, are we right?

Young royals love sticking their tongues out at the press — and here, a young Prince Harry gives a sassy face while driving away from a hospital visit.

Some things never change! Family functions with a ton of relatives can be awkward, even more so when the entire world is watching your dad being crowned king.

The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her perfectly styled hair, but Mother Nature loves to intervene with the best laid plans.

Just like football fans react to their quarterback making a bad play, Queen Elizabeth looks on through her fingers as her horses race. At least we think that’s what she was doing here…?

Here, William is a good sport with an elderly patient at a nursing home. So sweet.

It’s not just kids who have trouble eating ice cream tidily — the Duchess of Cornwall is seen here struggling through a snack break at the oldest ice cream shop in Denmark.
