Royal photographer Chris Jackson believes Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three children are now old enough to recognize that their upbringing is anything but ordinary.

The Getty Images lensman spoke with Page Six at a party promoting his new book, “Modern Majesty: The British Royal Family in a New Era,” at N. Peal on the Upper East Side Wednesday.

“You don’t see them very often, but when you do see them, it’s lovely to watch them kind of growing up,” Jackson said of Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 7.

Through his own observations, Jackson believes the three little royals are starting to learn that they aren’t just regular kids.

“I’m guessing they realize it’s not normal to be in these situations,” he said, referring to their royal appearances like Trooping The Colour.

“It’s lovely to see them interacting together,” he added.

While Charlotte is the spitting image of her dad, Jackson described her as a mini version of Kate.

“She’s got great poise,” he said of the little princess.

Jackson was particularly touched by a candid snapshot of Charlotte that he captured during her carriage ride at the 2024 Trooping the Colour.

“She had quite a kind of a sense of focus in this picture,” Jackson said of the photo, which is included in his new book, adding, “I love that moment.”

Jackson recalled another “particularly funny” moment caught on his camera at the 2025 VE Day parade when George’s siblings were “joking about his hair.”

“I get all these kind of little moments,” Jackson said, sharing that it’s lovely that he gets a front seat view of George’s “father-son relationship” with the Prince of Wales.

“Photographing them over the years has been really special,” he said.

Jackson divulged that shooting the portrait for Charles’ 70th birthday was his “most unusual royal shoot.”

“I had one of the people from the palace dress up as a bear,” he recalled. “Everyone was chuckling and laughing.”

“It made a lovely kind of candid moment with the children, which was kind of a contrast to the more formal picture that you need for history,” he added.

“He has an incredible ability to connect with people from different cultures around the world,” Jackson said. “He’s always got a joke or, you know, something that’s going to make the person he’s talking to feel relaxed.”

As for his experience working with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Jackson said he had “a great experience photographing them both.”

“There’s all these different characters in the royal family,” he explained. “So I’ve always enjoyed photographing them.”
