If you love getting a peek into royal life, this is news that will make you very happy. Today, more than 500 photos of the royal family (like the adorable portrait of the Duke and Duchess of York and daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, from 1933, above) will be up for auction at Dominic Winter Auctioneers.
Snapped by British society photographer Marcus Adams between 1926 and 1956, the photos capture Queen Elizabeth II in some very sweet moments throughout her life. For example, who knew she was such a stunner as a teen? And we would have never guessed how dapper her father was in his heyday. Even cuter: A rosy-cheeked baby Prince Charles even makes an appearance.
The images, which were discovered at Adams' former country home, will be auctioned in lots of 100 to 250 photos, estimated at $300 to $400 each. But we were able to snag a choice few for your viewing pleasure. Take a look.
