To commemorate the date, this beautiful set of pictures has been released, depicting Royal babies over the past 87 years.
The oldest photograph from the set dates all the way back to 27th June 1927, and portrays the Duke and Duchess of York with King George V and Queen Mary and the then Princess Elizabeth, now Queen Elizabeth II, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
