Let’s all take a moment to thank Prince Charles, who was gracious enough to share with the world two previously unseen portraits of his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, that once hung in his own home. These never-before-seen paintings remind us just how handsome these princes are, and it’s a glorious reminder indeed.

According to People magazine, the release of these portraits is part of the celebrations for Prince Charles’ 70th birthday. Among the artwork that was released were the aforementioned studly pictures of William and Harry, which are actually preparatory sketches done by Nicky Phillips. Phillips, it is noted, was in charge of painting the first official dual portrait of the princes back in 2009 (question, though: How did it take that long to get these brothers together into one portrait?
The sketches were also tweeted out side by side by the Royal Collection Trust on Monday, allowing the whole world to truly revel in the quickly made unofficial but still handsome sketches.
