Time reveals how birth order will influence the royal baby._ by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Nov 14, 2018 2:13 PM UTC Time reveals how birth order will influence the royal baby. by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Nov 14, 2018 2:13 PM UTC The royal family has released two new portraits to mark the 70th birthday of [Prince Charles](http://time.com/5238004/royal-family-tree/) on Wednesday. The pair of photos star the birthday boy himself flanked by his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, and his children and grandchildren. Snapped by photographer [Chris Jackson](https://www.instagram.com/ChrisJacksonGetty/) in the Clarence House garden, the portraits show the A-team – including three future kings – gathered in honor of the big day. We see Charles’ youngest son Prince Harry and with new wife Meghan Markle, his oldest son Prince William with Kate Middleton, and his grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte and even six-month-old Prince Louis. Aptly, everyone in the group appears to be wearing their birthday celebration best – sticking with a navy blue and cream color scheme. The photos capture the personalities of all nine, particularly giggly Prince George and laughing Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Prince Charles was born at Buckingham Palace on November 14, 1948\. He is the oldest and longest-serving [“heir apparent”](http://time.com/5238004/royal-family-tree/) (translation: first in line to the throne) in British history. The bells at Westminster Abbey will be ringing out on Wednesday to mark the milestone birthday. But it’s his party, and he’ll share the spotlight if he wants to. For the big day, Prince Charles will attend a tea party championing 70 inspirational people who also turned 70 this year. After that, the Queen will host a private event for friends, according to the [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46202198). Charles has been celebrating up a storm at a number of festivities throughout the year. He was feted with a Garden Party shortly after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding and a gala concert at Buckingham Palace celebrating his patronage of the arts. See the new royal family photos below. Clarence House also shared a video montage from every decade of his life. > [](https://twitter.com/ClarenceHouse/status/1062600846008041472) ## Transcript [00:13] [ MUSIC ] Baby, earlier this week the Duchess of [00:16] Cambridge gave birth to a third child to join Will and [00:20] Kate's royal ranks Following siblings Prince George, [00:23] aged four, and Princess Charlotte, aged two. While [00:26] being royalty and fifth in line for the throne will [00:29] determine many aspects of this little princes life. The [00:32] simple roll of birth order may hold an odd yet arbitrary [00:36] power all its own. Case study after case study has [00:39] illuminated how our birth order can be a reliable [00:42] indicator of our personality traits. So what lies ahead [00:45] for baby number three? And the rest of the Royal [00:47] brood? Well, let's break it down. [ MUSIC ] As [00:52] the eldest, George isn't only the closest heir to the [00:55] throne, he also joins a prestigious first child's club with [00:59] company including Beyonce, Hillary Clinton, and Elon [01:02] Musk. First borns have a tendency to thrive. Across [01:07] history, they reportedly been taller, healthier, better [01:10] educated and ultimately richer than their younger [01:13] siblings. Statistically, even their IQs are a few points [01:16] higher than their younger counterparts. In fact, every [01:19] astronaut to go into space has been either the oldest [01:22] child in his / her family or the oldest boy. No a bad [01:26] backup plan if the monarchy thing doesn't work out for [01:28] you George. Lovely melody. The new prince's arrival [01:32] means Princess Charlotte now has something else in [01:35] common with late grandmother Princess Diana. [01:38] Growing up a middle child. Definitely great company to [01:41] keep but the spot is even more appealing with pairs [01:44] such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg Middle [01:47] children are know to be popular. Building bigger and [01:50] larger networks since they often have to compete for [01:52] attention. Now, as the newly minted youngest child, [01:57] UK's tiny prince can look forward to shaking things up [01:59] at home. Being the youngest means, you'll be more [02:02] inclined to be rebellious. How else can you make a [02:04] name for yourself when you have such big shoes to fill? [02:08] It also means he's statistically more likely to be funnier, [02:11] more intuitive and more charismatic than his older [02:14] siblings. Since you can't physically outmaneuver your [02:17] elders, you receives learn how to charm everyone. It's [02:21] no wonder Steven Colbert, George Clooney, and J Law [02:24] all standout as the youngest of their bunch. [02:27] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Well, one thing's for certain. Little [02:30] Prince, you're already making us smile. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5454137/prince-charles-royal-family-photo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5454137/prince-charles-royal-family-photo/"},"headline":"Prince George Couldn't Stop Giggling for His Granddad Prince Charles' 70th Birthday Photo","datePublished":"2018-11-14T14:13:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T08:06:14.172Z","description":"New royal family photos have arrived to mark Prince Charles' 70th birthday, and they star the Duchess of Sussex and giggly Prince George.","url":"https://time.com/5454137/prince-charles-royal-family-photo/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royals","United Kingdom","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt061cca506f507dff/69893f0d86f68eb5316eab50/newroyalfamilyphotos.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt061cca506f507dff/69893f0d86f68eb5316eab50/newroyalfamilyphotos.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"TOPSHOT-BRITAIN-ROYAL-TROOPING","caption":"TOPSHOT-BRITAIN-ROYAL-TROOPING","creditText":"DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5454137/prince-charles-royal-family-photo/","name":"Prince George Couldn't Stop Giggling for His Granddad Prince Charles' 70th Birthday Photo"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Royal Order","description":"Time reveals how birth order will influence the royal baby.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ed7AU1fU/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-04-25T21:15:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ed7AU1fU.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5454137/prince-charles-royal-family-photo/","duration":"PT2M33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5454137/prince-charles-royal-family-photo/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
