Just moments ago, Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 in the U.K., and to celebrate, The British Monarchy has released a series of portraits photographed by Annie Leibovitz.

In the first, she poses with her two youngest grandchildren and her five great-grandchildren. Holding 11-month-old Princess Charlotte on her lap, the queen sits alongside (from left) 8-year-old James, Viscount Severn, and 12-year-old Lady Louise, The Earl and Countess of Wessex's children; Zara and Mike Tindall's 2-year-old daughter Mia; 5-year-old Savannah and 4-year-old Isla, Peter and Autumn Phillips's daughters; and, of course, 2-year-old Prince George.
