Press Association’s most eye-catching photos of the royal family in 2025

With state visits to Britain by world leaders, several tours abroad, and the pomp and ceremony of annual celebrations at home, Press Association photographers have been close to hand to capture the royal family carrying out their duties throughout 2025.

Mr Chown’s favourite image from Trooping the Colour in 2025 saw him capture a delighted Kate and Charlotte in a carriage passing the crowds of onlookers.

The Well Child Awards recognise the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families, and Mr Chown said Harry was on fine form.

“Capturing this image was very much about showcasing the fun and uplifting energy Prince Harry brought to his meetings with each child,” the photographer said.

After capturing William show off his sporting prowess in Rio, Mr Chown said: “Photographing members of the royal family as they visit other countries is always filled with a variety of images. From formal handshakes, visiting historic landmarks and engaging charities and patronages, it can yield some fantastic images.
