A very simple trick that Prince William learned perfectly from Elizabeth II to improve his images at social events, but it also relaxes the atmosphere and nerves of those around him.
Pictures of a smiling Queen Elizabeth II were characteristic of her meetings with political figures, Commonwealth authorities, or even with her grandchildren, such as Prince William.
On countless occasions, she could be seen showing off her sense of humor, which lightened the mood considering that more than one person felt intimidated when meeting her.
Because obviously you’ll never meet the longest reigning person in the entire world, so laughter isn’t bad for a better atmosphere.
This trick seems to have been learned by his eldest grandson, heir to the crown William, who was seen with Kate making more than one joke in the air to make everyone smile, and by the way, they look perfect in the photo.
The photo trick that Prince William inherited
Vanity gallery I remembered Queen Elizabeth II’s sense of humor when she stole the camera at the G7 meeting in June 2021, amid the pandemic, and I laughed more than once.
While some of the world’s most important leaders stood at a distance for the official photo, the Queen used the moment to make a little joke.
“You’re supposed to look like you’re having a good time,” she said, and everyone in the room burst out laughing, because it was so unusual for someone who held the position she was in at that moment to say that.
In the photo, Justin Trudeau, President of Canada, Angela Merkel, former German Chancellor, Emmanuel Macron, President of France, Boris Johnson, former British Prime Minister, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, looked perfect, smiling sincerely. In camera.
Prince William appears to have inherited a trick, which was revealed in a TikTok video that went viral where he can be seen in the same action, telling a joke and making one of the best photos of recent times.
It was at a meeting at a community center in Cardiff, while everyone was taking the official photo, the prince broke the silence with a specific question.
“Who pinches my ass?” he pointed loudly, unleashing laughter from everyone around him, including his wife, Kate Middleton, who did not hesitate to give a big smile to those present.

The result was a picture-perfect photo posted on the couple’s Instagram profile and a viral video showing Diana’s son much closer to the crowd.
The great humor of Queen Elizabeth II
When you have spent 70 years on the throne of England and lived a public life almost until your last moment, it stands to reason that there would be thousands of tales.
Since then, Queen Elizabeth has been known for her great sense of humour, so there has been no shortage of surprises.
The first, the 2012 London Olympics, when James Bond himself, played by Daniel Craig, appeared at Buckingham Palace to wander the halls of the place and reach the office of the Queen who was waiting to attend the Olympic Stadium, located in the Stratford neighborhood.
“Good evening, Mr Bond,” was the only line uttered by the Queen before heading to the helicopter that would take her to the stadium where West Ham United played.
When they were supposed to be “flying over” the area, James gave him the signal to jump into a parachute bearing the famous Union Jack design, the flag of the United Kingdom. The president can then be seen entering the event box.
The second occasion is on the last jubilee, When he starred in one of his most poignant moments in recent times with Paddingtonone of children’s favorite characters.
On the occasion, Paddington and the Queen meet for tea in one of the rooms in front of the entrance to Buckingham Palace, and after some uncomfortable situations, the bear shows him the jam sandwich he always carries, and the Queen is surprised by this. By taking out one of her signature bags.
After that, Paddington takes off his hat to wish him a “Happy Jubilee,” and then says, “Thank you for everything,” which goes deep into the hearts of the British.
To laugh with Isabel II
It is common on the Internet to find collages of images featuring stories about Queen Elizabeth.
For example, when he visited his grandchildren in the army. One of the most notable examples of this was when in 2016 Harry had to maintain a serious and posture while Elizabeth II passed the review, however, just one look was enough to get him out of his stance and make him smile at her while his companions maintained an impeccable posture. .

Royal photographer Chris Jackson captured another moment. At an event accompanied by Sophie, Countess of Wessex and Princess Anne, the Queen was seen cutting a cake to mark the 100th anniversary of the Women’s Institute at the Royal Albert Hall in 2015.
The problem was that while he was trying, he got the knife stuck and was unable to get it out, but instead of getting angry, he started laughing with his companions.
“It’s a great example of how things don’t always go as planned, and those are always the best pictures,” Jackson said. “Everyone started laughing and suddenly it was a relaxing moment.”
However, this is not the only story he has had with cakes. At the G7 summit in 2021, he tried again to cut a cake.
The problem is that on that occasion the knife was not as suitable as a sword, so she performed the cutting with a large, short, sharp object in front of the eyes of Camilla and Kate Middleton, who accompanied her.
Moments that testify to the rapprochement that Queen Elizabeth II was able to achieve with the public, despite the status of her position.
