11 sweet photos of royals as babies: The Queen, Kate Middleton and more

The royal family has a huge fan base all over the world and whilst we love following their latest charity endeavours and fashion choices, it's also lots of fun to look back at old photos of the famous clan - in particular, baby photos!

Have you ever seen pictures of the Queen, Prince Philip or Princess Anne as newborns? What about the ever-stylish Duchess of Cambridge or the late Princess Diana? Well, here's your chance…

The Queen

Oh, how beautiful does a baby then-Princess Elizabeth look in her lacy white bonnet, all tucked up in that chic pram? The rare photo was taken on her first-ever outing on 9 October 1926 when the royal was just five months old.

Prince Philip

What a bonny lad! Here's a one-year-old Prince Philip in July 1922. We adore his ultra-blond hair and that sweet smock – bring back that look for babies, we say.

The Countess of Wessex

Sophie was one adorable baby! The rare snap was shared on The Royal Family's Twitter page back in 2015 in celebration of the Countess' 50th birthday.

Princess Diana

A rare snap of the late Princess Diana as a baby! The picture was taken on her first birthday at Park House, Sandringham, on 1 July 1962.

Prince Edward

Those big eyes! The Queen posed with her baby boy Prince Edward on 13 June 1964. Edward was three months old in this photo and looks rather taken by surprise.

Princess Margaret

Little Princess Margaret looks so precious in this sweet snap published in the Queen's Coronation book. We think the late Princess looked regal even as a baby.
