For fans of all things monarchial, a royal portrait release is an exciting time. And while any Windsor family moment is a fascinating one, there’s a particular frenzy around snapshots of the children—George, Charlotte, Louis, and Archie—since they aren’t seen at events quite as often as their parents.

The three Cambridge children are photographed for major milestones they experience along the year, whether it be for their birthday festivities or christening. The photos are often taken by mother Middleton herself, though a variety of photographers capture the full family moments.

Other portraits over the years have captured the children welcoming their new siblings home or slipping on their backpacks for their first day at nursery or school. Another not-to-be-missed event is the family’s yearly Christmas card, which always ranges in setting and style. Last year saw Prince William holding little Prince Louis upon a vintage motorcycle. In 2018, the Cambridges were photographed at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, sitting on a large tree trunk.

As for the most recent Cambridge kid portrait? That would be two new pictures of Prince George, who turned seven years old on July 22.

Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped down from royal life, they still share some adorable details about Archie. For his first birthday, they posted an Instagram video of the Duchess reading to their baby son, to raise awareness for charity.
