QUEEN ELIZABETH TURNS 90 TODAY

Depending on your time zone, Queen Elizabeth is or will shortly be 90 years young. She turned 90 April 21. Three new pictures were taken of her and her family by photographer Annie Leibovitz. For Shartaun03 and others like her (including myself) who enjoy seeing pics of the Royal Family, here they are:

Pic 1 and 2: #1: "1. James, Viscount Severn, the eight-year-old second of the Earl and Countess of Wessex. Born at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, he is currently tenth in line to the throne.
#2: Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, James’s protective elder sister who, despite a traumatic premature birth, is maturing into a confident and pretty young girl.
Louise, 12, who is 11th in line to the throne, was a much longed-for for Edward and Sophie.
#3:Mia Tindall, the chubby-cheeked proudly holding up her ‘Gan-Gan’s’ handbag, is the of former royal rebel Zara Phillips and her England rugby player husband Mike Tindall.
#4:Princess Charlotte, sitting on the Queen’s lap, is the newest addition to the Royal Family and fourth in line to the throne.
#5:Savannah Phillips, elder of Peter Phillips and his Canadian wife Autumn, is the eldest of the Queen’s great-grandchildren and 14th in line to the throne.
#6:Prince George hides a delightfully mischievous nature. Indeed, on their recent tour to India, his parents apologised for not bringing him but said they couldn’t have risked his running around, while his father frequently describes him as a ‘cheeky little monkey’.
#7:Isla Phillips, standing to her cousin George’s left, is Savannah’s three-year-old sister.

Pic 3:The second portrait is a rare and surprisingly warm shot of the Queen with her Princess Anne in the Palace's White Drawing Room

Pic 4: Photographer Annie Leibovitz captured this touching vignette of Her Majesty with her two corgis, Willow and Holly, and two dorgis – corgi-dachshund crosses – Candy and Vulcan.

The 5th pic is the newly released stamp of the royal family:

Pic 5: Perched proudly on a pile of foam blocks, but holding daddy's hand just in case, Prince George poses for his very first postage stamp alongside his father, his grandfather – and the great-grandmother in this picture which was released by the Royal Mail yesterday"
