#31: Wake Up
Queen Elizabeth is nearly always attentive during public engagements, yet her eldest son has been known to doze off at state functions. In this photograph, she casts a look toward Prince Charles that carries the unmistakable air of maternal resignation, as if she has long accepted this quirk.
It is the sort of expression only a mother can give, blending mild disappointment with familiarity. While such moments may be harmless now, the image serves as a subtle reminder that nodding off will hardly be an option when Charles eventually occupies the throne and the eyes of the world are upon him.
