1. Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh: The Queen's youngest child Prince Edward was today joined by his wife the Duchess of Edinburgh and children Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn. He was granted the title of Duke of Edinburgh by Charles following the death of their mother the Queen.

2. Lady Louise Windsor: The daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh is often regarded as a secret weapon for the Royal Family, and tends to lead a low key life.

4. Princess Charlotte: The granddaughter of the King and Queen is eight-year-old Princess Charlotte. The second-eldest Wales sibling celebrated her eighth birthday this week.

5. Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh: The Duchess of Edinburgh joined her husband and children for the big event today. She was famously close to her mother-in-law the late Queen and is considered by many to be a 'secret weapon' within the Royal Family.
