3 New Portraits Of Queen Elizabeth Released For Her 90th Birthday

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.

In the second image, Queen Elizabeth poses with her beloved corgis and dorgies—Willow, Vulcan, Candy and Holly—on the steps of the East Terrace at Windsor castle.

The final image features the queen seated alongside her only daughter, Princess Anne.

These images accompany the photo of the queen posing with all direct heirs to the British throne—Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George—that was released yesterday.
