Captivating photos celebrate Queen’s 90th birthday

Captivating photos celebrate Queen’s 90th birthday

The Queen’s birthday is here, and to celebrate the Royal Family has released an enthralling series of photos taken by Annie Leibowitz at Windsor Castle just after Easter.

To say these images are compelling would be an understatement.

The first depicts Her Majesty surrounded by her loving great grandchildren. The second has her standing on a set of stairs with her beloved collection of corgis. And the third sees her sharing a beautiful moment in the drawing room with Princess Anne.

The style and composition choices from Ms Leibowitz really gives these pictures a distinct feel and provide a captivating look at what life must be like in Windsor Castle.

To see all the images, scroll through the gallery above.
