From the Queen to Prince William these sweet royal photos show the royal family as little ones, and looking like most other toddlers!

Born decades apart, these royal family members all have one thing in common – they were real cuties when they were younger! See the sweetest royal baby pictures below for proof.

From the cheekiness of Prince Charles in his shorts and t-shirt to the adorable Mia Tindall holding the Queen’s handbag, these are the photos that capture what the royal family were like as toddlers and children.

Born in 1926, the Queen is not a world away from the royal family toddlers of today like Princess Beatrice and Mia Tindall. Even though they were born some 60 years or more apart the cuteness of these royal baby pictures are just the same. And these photos prove that whether you are royal or not, everyone and anyone can be a cute child! Do you remember any of these royals as babies? See below...
