The monarch appeared in six out of the nine most “liked” photos published on the Royal Family’s official Insta account over the past 12 months.

According to The Telegraph, the Queen proved the most popular royal when it came to photos posted on the page in 2020.
The snap to garner the most “likes” features the Queen and Prince Philip celebrating the wedding of Princess Beatrice to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
The couple can be seen standing more than two metres from the bride and groom outside the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in keeping with social distancing guidance.
The photo was taken shortly after Bea and her Italian beau tied the knot in a private ceremony in July.
