Britain celebrates today as Queen Elizabeth II turns 90. Although her birthday will not be officially celebrated until June, Brits still gathered outside Windsor Castle, where she is currently in residence, to send their best wishes.
Buckingham Palace released three official photographs of the Queen with her family.
The Queen with her five great-grandchildren and two youngest grandchildren. The children are: James, Viscount Severn (left), 8, and Lady Louise (second left), 12, the children of The Earl and Countess of Wessex; Mia Tindall (holding The Queen’s handbag), the two year-old-daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall; Savannah (third right), 5, and Isla Phillips (right), 3, daughters of The Queen’s eldest grandson Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn; Prince George (second right), 2, and in The Queen’s arms and in the tradition of Royal portraiture, the youngest great-grandchild, Princess Charlotte (11 months), children of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on April 20, 2016.
Some Brits were somewhat less formal in their celebrations, however.
