As the UK celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday, March 11, Buckingham Palace decided to share a never-before-seen photo of the royal family from 1965. It was a heartwarming way to mark the occasion, and it quickly captured the attention of royal fans around the globe. The image, shared on both Twitter and Instagram, shows Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and their four children—Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and a young Prince Edward—in the serene gardens of Frogmore House. This charming country home, part of the Crown Estate, is nestled within Windsor Castle’s Home Park, just a short half-mile stroll south of the main castle.

In the caption, the palace wrote, “Wishing a very happy Mothering Sunday to all of our followers. #MothersDay.” This photo was taken back in 1965, on the Queen’s 39th birthday, and it offers a rare glimpse into the family’s private life. The image captures the royal family gathered around something that has clearly caught their attention on the grass. A young Prince Edward leans out of his stroller, Prince Andrew holds onto the stroller’s handle, while Prince Charles and Princess Anne stand close by their parents. It’s a candid moment that feels almost like peeking into their personal lives. To top it off, the palace also celebrated Prince Edward’s 54th birthday the day before with another photo of the Queen and the Earl of Wessex.
Why Frogmore House Holds a Special Place in the Royal Heart
Now, let’s talk about the setting for this iconic photo—Frogmore House. Situated in the lush, private gardens of Windsor Castle’s Home Park, this 35-acre estate is like a secret escape for the royal family. It’s not just a place where they unwind, but it’s also been the backdrop for some of their most memorable moments. For instance, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose Frogmore House as the location for their engagement photoshoot.

It’s no wonder they picked such a special place to mark the start of their journey together.
