The British royal family is known for using their portraits to mark special occasions.
Royal family members are often photographed but cannot take selfies with the public.
Here are 25 royal family portraits from the 1930s to now.
Members of the British royal family surely have many talents, but if there's one skill they've mastered, it's posing for pictures.
Wherever they go, professional photographers and enthusiastic fans with iPhones alike clamor to snap a photo of their every move (though royals aren't allowed to take selfies with members of the public).
From official portraits in Buckingham Palace to informal photocalls while they're on vacation, here are 25 portraits of the royal family from the 1930s until now.
