She turned 90 in April — and marked the occasion with celebrations throughout her realm. But as the year of Queen Elizabeth II‘s big birthday draws to a close, he milestone is being honored one final time.
A new photograph of the Queen and Prince Charles was released by the British Monarchy on Saturday — taken specifically to commemorate her birthday.
In the portrait, taken by photographer Nick Knight, the Queen sits on a gold chair, wearing a patterned, long-sleeve blue dress. Her hands folded at her waist, she looks elegant and stoic — her three-strand pearl necklace and matching earrings slightly catching the light.
Charles, in a classic bow tie and tuxedo, stands above her to her right. His right arm sits in his pocket and his left on rests on the back of her chair as he looks down below on her.
The photo, shot in May, was staged at the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle — prior to the final night of the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations at the Royal Windsor Horse Pageant.
