The British royal family are suckers for a slice of the seaside - and there's one sandy spot in particular that reigns supreme.
Nestled along Norfolk's coastline, Holkham beach has been a firm favourite among the royals for decades.
The late Queen Mother was notably beguiled by the golden dunes of Holkham, and was regularly spotted walking her beloved pet pooches along the sparkling shoreline.

The Queen Mother
The Queen Mother was a known Thalassophile. She adored walking her beloved dogs along Holkham's shoreline, and reportedly kept a tray of seashells on the stairs of her Scottish bolthole, The Castle of Mey.
She's pictured here in July 1987, enjoying a leisurely stroll with one of her Corgis.

Also beguiled by Holkham beach were King Charles and Princess Anne, who, during their childhood, paid many a visit to the coastal spot. Archival footage of the sibling duo featured in a 2016 BBC documentary titled Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute.
The pair were seen playing in the sand dunes, armed with buckets and spades and with huge grins stretched across their faces.

The Princess Royal added: "Holkham was a bit off the beaten track. It does look almost completely empty which you wouldn't find now. But it was a public beach even then. It's a big beach".
