Prince Archie and Princess Lilbet as well as Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s son August and Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna were absent from the photo op.
The latest photo of the Queen was taken last summer during a family trip to Balmoral.
The Queen typically spent the summer months at the estate during her 70-year reign.
On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth “died peacefully” at Balmoral. She was 96.
Happy heavenly birthday, Queen Elizabeth!
