<h2>A Hug for Daddy – September 29, 2016</h2> <p>“The tightness of his grip is pure affection from son to father and something that you rarely get to witness in formal royal situations. This was during the royal tour of Canada a couple of years ago, and it was lovely to capture this interaction between the two.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
<h2>Watching the Queen’s Official Birthday Parade – June 13, 2015</h2> <p>“As Prince William rode out to take part in the formal parade below, George watched from the window above with the nanny keeping a close eye on him. The excitement on his face was clear to see.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
<h2>Charlotte’s Protective Big Brother – July 5, 2015</h2> <p>“I absolutely love shooting these unscripted moments. Prince George stood up on his tiptoes to check on his sister at her christening in Sandringham, Norfolk. The traditional pram was pushed along the path moments before by the duchess… George also spoke with the queen, pointing at her hat at one point.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
<h2>Giving the Solar Eclipse a Run for Its Money – June 17, 2017</h2> <p>"Trooping the Color, an annual military ceremony that also marks the queen’s birthday, “is one of the great weekends of the year and a rare opportunity to see so many members of the royal family in one place at the same time,” says Jackson. “This is always one of the highlights, as the royals are transfixed by the incredible Royal Air Force flypast that zooms over their heads.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
<h2>The Birthday Boy – July 21, 2017</h2> <p>“It was on his fourth birthday during a tour of Germany and Poland that Prince George got to look at a similar helicopter to the one his dad used for work. Despite a few unhappy moments early in the tour, his face lit up as he got the opportunity to explore this amazing machine.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
<h2>Important Firsts – September 7, 2017</h2> <p>“The first day of school is an exciting moment for any family, but it was great to see Prince George with such a big smile on his face ahead of his first school run.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
<h2>Charlotte Takes a Sniff, July 19, 2017</h2> <p>“Being presented with a bouquet of flowers can become an everyday occurrence for a member of the royal family, and little Princess Charlotte will have a lifetime of royal duties ahead of her. [But] it was this incredibly sweet moment, as she stepped onto the airport tarmac in Germany for the first time and was given a tiny little bouquet, that really stood out for me.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
<h2>Official Holidays – December 18, 2017</h2> <p>“It was a real privilege to take this formal photo, which was later selected for the photo on their Christmas card by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.”</p> <p>Photo: &copy; Chris Jackson/Getty Images</p>
