A year in pictures: The royals and their roles with the Armed Forces in 2025

The Prince and Princess of Wales have released a set of previously unseen official photographs, offering a moment to look back at some of the Royal Family's most striking military images of 2025.

From Trooping the Colour to relaxed exchanges on the bridge of HMS Prince of Wales, the photos move between full ceremonial display and quieter, behind-the-scenes moments.

Across ships, barracks, memorials and state visits, the images capture encounters with serving personnel and veterans at key points in the military calendar.

To compliment the Prince and Princess of Wales' newly-released trove, BFBS Forces News has rounded up some of our favourite Royal military images of the past year.
