- In other royal news, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have welcomed an adorable new family member with the sweetest name.
In a post on the official Royal Family Instagram account, various photographs of the Queen's relatives from centuries passed, as well as snaps of her younger self, were shared.
"On #InternationalDogDay take a look through some of our favourite photographs in the Royal Collection that feature some of The Royal Family’s canine partners throughout history," a caption beside the upload said.
As well as young Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret with a Corgi, photos of the likes of Queen Victoria, Queen Alexandra and George VI were in the mix.
But it was a shot of the Queen's grandfather, George V, that caught the attention of followers, with many pointing out a strange resemblance to James Middleton.
