25+ Sweet Throwback Photos That Show Our Favorite Royals as Kids and Teens

The members of the British royal family belong to the most photographed people in the world, but we mostly see them as adults in their photos. Luckily, in the archives, we can find childhood pictures of our favorite princes and princesses. Those sweet old images show some pretty ordinary kids who are having fun with their pets and eating ice cream and cotton candy, like many of us did when we were kids.

We at Bright Side had a strong desire to look through our old family photos when we saw the childhood pictures of our favorite royals, and we couldn’t take our eyes off these cute boys and girls.
