Members of the royal family are conditioned to look cool, calm, and collected no matter what life throws their way. Whether they're born into royalty or marry into it, being camera-ready is something that is expected of them, no matter what age. But every once in a while, a photog snaps a moment that is so off guard, you can't help but chuckle over it. These 20 candid photos of the royal family are so pure and relatable.
