Prince Charles Shares a Laugh With His Sons Prince William and Prince Harry in a New Candid Photo
Prince Charles's 70th birthday is the gift that keeps on giving for fans of the royal family. Today, a new photo was released of the future king in military garb laughing alongside his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
The picture was taken in the gardens of Buckingham Palace ahead of the RAF 100 commemorations back in July of this year, and appears to be from the same portrait session as the photo which was eventually turned into a commemorative stamp.

This candid is just one of a new set of photos released in honor of Prince Charles's 70th. Getty photographer Chris Jackson spent the past year documenting the Prince's life, taking photos during private moments, which were released publicly today.
"I’ve spent much of the last year documenting some intimate and ‘behind the scenes’ moments with The Prince of Wales to celebrate his 70th Birthday," Jackson wrote on Instagram of the project. "It really has been an incredible priviledge to create such a unique set of images and a huge amount of fun at the same time."
Jackson also noted Charles's "great sense of humor" in an interview with the Sunday Times, which is clearly evident in the photo with William and Harry.
"I think that comes across in a lot of these photographs," he says. "That’s just him being him. I don’t think it’s something he puts on for the camera, you couldn’t do it across so many facets of your life.”
Other highlights from the series include sweet portraits of Prince Charles with his youngest grandson, Prince Louis, photos of the Prince of Wales working with his animals at Highgrove House, and a never-before-seen photo of the Prince of Wales with his new daughter-in-law not long after the royal wedding.
