The royal family obviously lives a very different life than you do. They travel the world, live in modern-day castles, and every move they make is documented. But sometimes it really does seem like they're just like everyone else, especially in these GIFs of the royal family.
The royal family has been blessing the public with more relatable moments than ever lately, with the kids showing us the sillier side of the monarchy and new dad Harry, Duke of Sussex, admitting that, like every commoner parent, he is not sleeping like he used to since the birth of little Archie. Gone are the days when the fam felt unattainable and cold; the tide started to change when Princess Diana became part of the family, and William and Harry have continued her legacy. The British monarchy seemingly appears to be a warm, tight-knit family for the most part.
Just because we have more access and exposure to the members of the royal family more than ever, it doesn't make them any less fascinating, especially when they're acting just like anyone else. Keep reading to check out some of the best GIFs that show the monarchy knows how to keep it real.
