The Little Prince Who Wouldn't Join Royal Group - Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, right, try to talk the little Prince into turning round and face the cameras, while the Duke of Edinburgh seems to be enjoying the Prince's boyish pranks. His mother, Princess Elizabeth (holding Princess Anne) tends to make a sterner view. Prince Charles, now nearly two, already has a will of his own. When the Royal Family assembled in the blue drawing room of Buckingham Palace, London, for photographs to be taken following the christening of his little sister, Princess Anne, the Prince just refused to pose. After he had been persuaded to joint the Royal group he scampered away again, slid on the polished floor and took refuge behind a settee. October 23, 1950. (Photo by Paul Popper Ltd.).
