The royal family are usually calm and collected when carrying out public engagements. They are, after all, in work mode.
But sometimes they are just like us and canât help feeling like theyâd rather be somewhere else â which goes to show they really are like us and donât hesitate to wear their heart on their sleeve.
Take a look at these amusing and entertaining snaps of the family over the years, including King Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth IIâŠ

King Charles

As chieftain of the Highland Games, she always attended and it was one of the few times the public would see the Queen during her summer break in Scotland. The family was usually pictured having a laugh, watching the annual tug-of-war and the sack race to name a few games, but it looks like Charles just wasnât feeling it in 2013âŠ

King Charles

Princess Diana

Prince Philip
