Royals doing normal things: A retrospective at how Wills & Kate's family is, funnily enough, just like the rest of us

The Cambridges rang in Father's Day 2022 by sharing a never-before-seen family snap from their 2021 Christmas photoshoot.

In the picture, Prince Louis sits on Prince William's shoulders, while Princess Charlotte and Prince George laugh along with them.

They captioned the photo, "Wishing a Happy Father's Day to fathers and grandfathers across the world today!"

Prince Louis' facial expressions at his great-grandmother's Platinum Jubilee celebrations were relatable to everyone who has parented an expressive toddler - and it was such a cute reprieve during the structured royal event.

Kate was photographed trying to entertain her son at the Platinum Pageant.

But when she needed a break her father-in-law took over Prince Louis duties.

During Trooping the Colour, Prince George battled the sun in his carriage, and most of the world can relate to the former detail.

Prince Louis leaned on his mumma's shoulders during the party, and even royal children need some cuddles - despite the whole world watching.

Even though Kate was standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony, she still had to keep her kids entertained and in line with royal protocol.

In April 2021, Duchess Catherine and her three young children were spotted in London going shopping at a popular stationary store - Smiggle. It's a location many other parents will be well familiar with as the go-to for any pre-school-term supplies. According to onlookers, her children had a budget they were to stick to, and each of the kids were well behaved. Cute!

In a rare family appearance, the Cambridges shared a clip from isolation amid the COVID-19 pandemic to show their support for those working on the frontline. Breaking into applause, the family joined thousands of others across Britain who were doing the exact same thing.

On Prince Louis' second birthday, the Palace released several adorable snaps of the royal toddler getting stuck into some paint. But there was one thing fans couldn't get past - how in the name of all things good did he keep his shirt so squeaky clean?

Well the truth was, he didn't. Several hours later, the Palace shared this glorious snap, writing: "Instagram vs Reality. Thank you for your lovely messages on Prince Louis' second birthday."

Now that video chats are all the rage, Prince William has been getting on board. So much so that he seems to have become very comfortable with the new meeting format. In the below clip, you'll see just how comfortable the future King was... when he reveals what was wearing out of shot.

For the Queen's annual pre-Christmas lunch in 2019, the Cambridges were seen driving into Buckingham Palace - Louis' little face was meme-worthy enough in its own right.

There's nothing like seeing your favourite team win a tough match of football, and Prince George was all for it when he was spotted with his parents and younger sister Charlotte cheering his beloved team Aston Villa on as they played Norwich City.

George's relatable display sent the internet into meltdown, especially when we got a good gander at how he celebrated when his team scored. Watch the moment in the player below...

On a day out at the polo in 2019, Prince Louis was seen having a right old time with his mum's Stella McCartney specs. Looks like he's eyeing up a future playmate in baby Archie here too...

Royal mum Kate was seen sorting her children out as they ran amok. There was just far too much fun to be had, clearly.

But there's always time for a snack. In true down-to-earth style, the royal family had a good old-fashioned car boot picnic later in the day.

Trooping the Colour is known for its royal pomp and fanfare display, but 2019's event was truly one for the ages when all three Cambridge children provided a hilarious spectacle of mischief and mayhem. Camilla didn't seem to be at all impressed...

Luckily, the royal parents took it all in their stride. They shared a discreet laugh as the family waited for the iconic flyover.

Louis didn't seem to be impressed when said flyover finally arrived. That was until he actually saw it, which caused him to unofficially lose the plot - watch his adorable wild waving moment in the player below.

A year earlier, it was Charlotte's turn to be a little unsure about Trooping the Colour's landmark event - this shy moment was too much!

Sometimes, we all need a minute, and Prince George is no different - he proved as much during Charlotte's christening in 2015 when he was seen having a good old weep. We feel you George, sometimes you've just got to let it all out.
