The snap was taken in 1995 when the royal family were at Sandringham for Christmas. It's likely to have been taken on Christmas Day when the royals were outside of the church ahead of the service.

Harry reached his arm up high to ensure his clear and blue umbrella was high enough for the Queen and the Queen Mother. The latter walked with two walking sticks, and both of them wore block heels for the occasion.

The day must have brought back memories of his late mother, Princess Diana's funeral when he walked behind her coffin, just as he did on Wednesday for the Queen.
The father-of-two marked his 38th birthday a day later, which was spent without his children Archie and Lilibet, who remain in the US.
The grandchildren had a great relationship with the Queen
In a statement released on Harry and wife Meghan Markle's Archewell website, the royal said: "In celebrating the life of my grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen - and in mourning her loss - we are all reminded of the guiding compass she was to so many in her commitment to service and duty. She was globally admired and respected."
He added: "Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings - from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren."
