Candid Photos Of The Royal Family Goofing Off And Acting Like The Rest of Us

The royal family is constantly in the press, and with good reason. With the likes of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle marrying two of the world's most eligible bachelors, life has never looked so sweet for the House of Windsor. They might always be decked out in their finest, but the Royals aren't really that different from the average Joe.

Join us as we take a look at some incredible pictures of the royals goofing off and acting like the rest of us. Kate gets into a sticky situation and Meghan's a professional at private jokes...

When Kate Got Stuck in a Grate

Have you ever been walking down the street, only to find that you've got your stiletto stuck in a pesky drain? It's happened to the best of us, Kate. The duchess succumbed to a very public calamity when she got her heel wedged in a grate back in 2013.

Dressed in a stylish green ensemble to pay homage to St. Patrick's Day, the sleek royal held onto her husband as she tried to pry her shoe out of the hole. Prince William and two officers look on in what feels like the most ordinary moment ever captured on camera in the history of the royal family.

Livin' on a Prayer is so iconic that even Prince William couldn't resist belting it out. The Centrepoint Gala Dinner at Kensington Palace in London in 2013 was a sight to behold. Who would've thought that Prince Will would've been so quick to get up on the mic?

Of course, when we do karaoke with our friends it's more cheap beer and jeans than champagne and tuxedos. Either way, there's nothing quite like a dose of badly-sung Bon Jovi to get the party started. Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi look like they're having the time of their lives, too.

Prince Will's Sleepy Moment

Remembrance Sunday is a huge thing in ol' Blighty, so when Will and Kate welcomed their third child, Will still had to attend the important event just days later. Clearly a little worse for wear after sleepless nights, William caused a stir when he was pictured nodding off.

ADVERTISEMENT

Harry and Meghan were busy staring at each other longingly, so no one gave poor Will a nudge in the ribs. Newborn babies are notorious for crying all night and sleeping all day, so you can't really blame the Duke of Cambridge for this one. It was still all over the tabloids, though.

Camilla's Ice Cream Delight

Camilla Parker-Bowles isn't a royal by blood, but by marriage. She famously had an affair with Prince Charles throughout his marriage to the late Princess Diana. A few years after Di's passing, the two made it official. It took a while, but Camilla was eventually accepted into the fold by the British public.

ADVERTISEMENT

Pictures like this are what we live for. Who doesn't love ice cream? Camilla attacked this poor cone with such ferocity that she made a classic rookie mistake and ended up with a white nose. In fairness, she doesn't look upset about it so it must've been worth it.

Who said that being a royal was all stuffy state visits and church services? Sometimes they get to have more fun than the rest of us. Kate, Will, and Harry got to visit the Harry Potter set a few years ago, wands and all.

ADVERTISEMENT

There are more snaps from this brilliant day out that prove the royal family loves Harry, Ron, and Hermione as much as the rest of us. Kate clearly loves a bit of wand-waving, which suits her down to a T. Can you imagine her waving that at Princess Charlotte when she's misbehaving? That's a magical mama right there.

When you think of sports watched by the royals, you most likely think of polo or something involving horses. However, they're not afraid to get down and dirty with the rest of us...from afar, anyway. During the 2013 Braemer Highland Games, the Queen was very amused by one event in particular: the sack race.

ADVERTISEMENT

Sitting alongside her son and her husband, she shares a joke with Prince Charles as she looks on at the men struggling to get to the finish line by hopping in Burlap sacks. The historical event dates back 200 years...not quite as old as the Queen, but almost!

Kate's Dance with Paddington

Paddington Bear is almost as British as the royal family themselves (besides Meghan that is!) The adorable cartoon bear is the brainchild of Michael Bond. Although he's been around for years, the character has enjoyed a new lease of life thanks to the Paddington movies.

ADVERTISEMENT

Kate had the chance to dance with a life-size version of the bear back in 2017, at the Charities Forum Event at Paddington station. Kate looks just like a kid at Disneyland, getting down with her bad self in a chic pale-pink dress Jackie Kennedy would've admired. Is there anything better than dancing with a person dressed in a character suit?

The couple poses in front of a wall mural at the Art, Music, Dance and Youth Exhibition in Jamestown, Ghana last November.

Complete with shades and a parasol, the lovebirds look like something out of a Jane Austen novel... placed in an Ariana Grande music video. We dig the whole look, not least because we've created similar snaps ourselves and they weren't half as decent.

Meghan's Welly Wanging

When Meghan wed Harry last year, she probably didn't think she would be welly wanging by that October. It sounds rude, but really, it's just a game. The duo stopped off in Auckland during an official autumn tour around Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand.

ADVERTISEMENT

There, they met up with a group of children from the Trees in Survival group to play some traditional games. Meghan is snapped here throwing the red-spotted welly like a housewife at a school fair. Let hope they bought new wellies for the occasion so the duchess didn't have to put her hand where someone's stinky foot once was.

Being a royal child comes with a lot of responsibility. They have to have a fine education and be well-versed in everything from history to politics, but when they're little, they're just like every other child in the world.

ADVERTISEMENT

Pictured on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during 2018's Trooping the Colour, the royal kids look like they're having a blast. Princess Charlotte, Savannah Phillips, Prince George, and Isla Phillips are living their best lives as they watch the ceremony unfold. Oh, to be young and carefree...and rich beyond your wildest dreams. There's no poise here, just pure joy. Isn't that sweet?

Royals need to look after themselves. Look at Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. They're well into their 90's and still going about their duties, just at a slower rate. It'll soon be handing down the flag to the younger generation to fly.

ADVERTISEMENT

Maybe that's why Prince William was captured in a precarious position in 2016, stretching it out on the pitch before playing in the Audi Polo Challenge match. We hate to think of the grass stains on his white pants, but apparently, these yoga moves help the prince stay on top form. Namastay exactly as you are, Will.

The royal babies have to do an awful lot of traveling. Not only are they shipped from the castle to palace in the UK, but they've got to accompany mom and dad on their overseas trips. Prince George proves that you can't take the kid out of the royal by smooshing his face up against the glass of a plane.

George gets bonus points for looking extra cute while doing it, wearing his ear protectors like a boss as he departs Victoria, Canada with Kate and Will. He's a kid with the world at his feet, and his nose against the window.

When something moves really fast, it's only natural to veer back and pull a weird face. Most of us manage to get away with it without photo evidence exposing all our chins. Sadly, Prince Charles and Camilla aren't as lucky.

During an official event, the two were treated to a falconry display. The bird of prey ended up getting a little too close for comfort, resulting in this absolute gem of a photograph. It might not be the next royal Christmas card, but it's one for the ages. Even terrified, Camilla and Charles manage to look like they're keeping it together.

Before Meghan Markle was on the scene, Prince Harry was still charming the hearts of admirers the world over thanks to his sense of humor. The rebellious royal has always been a little different, breaking the mold.

In 2015, he visited The Sharks rugby club at Kings Park Stadium during an official visit to Africa. He joked around with the kids, as well as the club's official mascot. In this candid picture he puts his face inside the mouth of the shark, reminding us all that we'll ship him no matter how goofy he becomes. The expectant dad will be a dab hand at story time.

Hosts Holly and Phil look on as Camilla carries on eating the lovingly prepared pans of... whatever that is. Caught out by the cameraman sneaking another bite, Camilla looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Look on the bright side Camilla, at least it's not all over your nose this time! Say what you want about the Duchess of Cornwall, but she knows how to chow down and appreciate her food.

You know you're part of the same clique when you're grimacing in tandem. Kate and Prince Charles' brother Edward sat side by side at the Glasgow National Hockey Center in 2014, watching a particularly messy game unfold.

ADVERTISEMENT

By the looks of it, something brutal happened on the ice that caused this royal pair to coil back in horror. Wouldn't you? Hockey isn't exactly known for its loving hugs and pats on the back. Seriously though, how can Kate look this good while making that expression? The perfectly coiffed hair, the glowing cheeks. Some people just get all the luck, don't they?

Word on the street is that Queen Elizabeth II really likes Meghan. And a good thing too, considering that she's married to her grandson. Every time the pair are seated next to each other, they always look like they're having a blast.

ADVERTISEMENT

In June of 2018, they sat side-by-side at the opening ceremony of the new Mersey Gateway Bridge. The newlywed and her grandma-in-law shared a private joke together as they watched the events in front of them. On a side note, Meghan caused controversy a few days prior to this by exposing too much shoulder. She didn't have that problem this time around...

So Mike Tindall may not be a royal strictly speaking, but he is married to Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Phillips. The couple has been living in wedded bliss for quite some time now, so rugby ace Mike is part of the family.

He's pictured here alongside Princess Eugenie enjoying the Sentebale Concert at Kensington Palace in 2016. Prince Harry founded the event with the Prince of Lesotho almost 15 years ago, to benefit the HIV positive children of Botswana. Mike looks like he's having a great time bobbing along to the music. Who needs a title when you've got freedom, right?

Sometimes, you've just got to look out at your public and think, "Why am I here when I could be playing with toys and watching Paw Patrol?" Prince George looks like he's seriously done with the family festivities for the day in this snap.

While George looks like the spitting image of his father, Princess Charlotte looks identical to her grandmother, the Queen. The rest of us can't even get through a family dinner without throwing in a good scowl, and these guys have been to more formal events in their years than we have in our whole lives. No big deal.

Just like kids the world over, they couldn't stand still for a hot minute and had to be whipped into shape by the adults. Prince George looks like he's getting up to mischief, while the rest of the girls seem totally uninterested in the camera. Who had a meltdown at the wedding reception? Our bet is on Maud.

During the Trooping the Colour parade in 2009, when the Queen celebrates her birthday, all family members must stay on their best behavior. Except Prince Harry, of course, who doesn't hesitate to display his silly side in front of thousands of spectators.

While Harry rode in a carriage with Prince William and Camilla (whom you can barely see sitting next to the Duchess of Cornwall), they chuckled back and forth over some hilarious joke surrounding Harry's feet. Unfortunately, none of the spectators could get in on the joke. But it seemed pretty funny, based on the others' reactions.
