Royal Family Photographer Reveals How He Made Prince George Giggle

The two-year-old sported a cheeky grin.

Prince George looked happy as Larry in the photo commemorating the Queen's 90th birthday.

But how did the royal photographer get the two-year-old to crack out such a cheeky grin at just the right moment?

"The whole shoot went swimmingly well," photographer Ranald Mackechnie said.

When asked what made Prince George so happy, he said: "Me! Me making strange faces or putting my hands up on my head."

Watch the video above to see the funny poses Mackechnie pulled to get the perfect shot.
