Photographs of Britain's Prince Charles and his sister Princess Anne as toddlers are to go up for sale at auction next week.
The never-seen-before family pictures show Charles, now 61, laughing and joking as he sits on a statue of a stag while his mother, the then-Princess Elizabeth - now the queen - and dad Prince Philip look on.
The Queen Mother, King George VI and Princess Margaret also feature in the photos.
In another photograph, an infant Princess Anne sits up in her pram as Charles stands with the rest of the family posing for the camera.
It is believed they were taken by a member of Buckingham Palace staff in 1951, a year before King George VI's death.
The photos will be sold in Colchester, Essex, England, next week.
Last year, a photograph of Britain's Prince Charles aged nine listening to his mother, Queen Elizabeth, give her first Christmas TV broadcast was unearthed and made public for the first time.
The exclusive shot of Charles from Christmas Day 1957 - which sees him sitting in a chair wearing sound engineer earphones - was taken by the BBC's superintendent of lighting Harold Mayhew, nicknamed 'Mr Grumps' by BBC staff, and have now been made public by Harold's son Eddie Harper-Mayhew.
