Throwback Thursday🎞️! Prince Charles, Duke of Cornwall, was photographed with his younger sister, Princess Anne, in a special portrait to mark his 8th birthday 🎂. The siblings are seen studying a globe together 🌍, a fitting symbol for Charles’s future as a world-traveling royal and, one day, King. Captured in silhouette by royal photographer Antony Armstrong, the portrait remains one of the most charming childhood images of the future monarch. For the occasion, Charles wore flannel shorts, a blue shirt, and a bright red tie, while 6-year-old Anne looked angelic in a white broderie anglaise dress tied with a blue sash 🎀. At this time, Charles was the heir to the throne as the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, while Princess Anne was already adored for her lively spirit. This birthday photo not only marked a milestone in Charles’s young life but also gave the public a glimpse into the close sibling bond between the two. — 15 November 1956. • • • • •
