Very heart warming of the queen.

Queen Elizabeth will always be someone to look up to. For all little girls and women, strength with kindness and grace.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip have been pictured together many times, but for Chris Jackson, who has photographed the royal family for more than a decade for Getty Images, there is one photo that stands out.

Jackson captured the pair laughing their hearts out, along with then-Prince Charles – now King – and Camilla, as they watched a game of tug-of-war at the annual Braemar Highland gathering in Scotland in September 2006.

“Without a doubt this is my favorite photo of Her Majesty the Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales at an event they clearly enjoy and were so relaxed at The Braemar Highland Gathering,” he wrote on his personal account on Instagram. “This spectacular and friendly event takes place right below the Queen’s summer residence at Balmoral.”

The photographer told Business Insider in 2018 that the Braemar Highland Gathering “is a great opportunity to ‘capture’ the royal family at their most relaxed.” This particular photo, from 2006, is “my favorite of all time.”

“Over the years, I have many favorite moments,” he said. “While tradition and formulas are an integral part of what it means to be royal, their interactions remind you that they are brother and sister, mother and son, sister and brother.”
