The
Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall chat happily as they give
the corgis a bath while the Queen looks cheerful as she enjoys breakfast
in bed.
But
while these might look like unusually candid snaps of the Royal Family,
in reality, they are a clever spoof created by artist Alison Jackson.
Inspired
by next week's Mothering Sunday, Jackson has tried to imagine how you
might treat your mother when she happens to be the Queen.
Giving the corgis a bath: Charles and Camilla give the Queen's corgis a bath in a lurid pink bathroom
And
according to Jackson, that means hosing down the corgis and carefully
giving boiled eggs a regal makeover, complete with bearskin and crown
covers.
The
next photo shows Charles and Camilla, who, as a mother herself will be
expecting some treats of her own next Sunday, bathing the corgis in a
vivid pink bathroom before drying them off with a patriotic Union Flag
towel.
Amusingly,
the royal couple are seen following the bath up with a blow dry, with
Camilla grimacing as Prince Charles accidentally blows hot air in her
face.
Next
comes the big reveal, with the Queen looking thrilled as she is
presented with her breakfast tray, a card that reads 'Keep calm and
reign on' and three pots of the Body Shop's Vitamin E moisture cream.
Anyone for a blowdry? Charles' poor aim leaves Camilla needing to close her eyes
A card fit for a Queen: Prince Charles is seen filling in a card that bears the slogan: 'Keep calm and reign on'
Decoration: Charles is also seen giving a trio of boiled eggs a regal makeover, complete with a crown
Finally, Her Majesty is seen sharing her toast soldiers and eggs with her freshly washed - and now very happy - corgis.
Jackson
is no stranger to reinventing the Royal Family, having previously
worked on 'photos' of all the senior royals, including the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
Others
to feature in her work include Pippa Middleton, who was the subject of
her Christmas pastiche, which depicted Miss Middleton desperately
attempting to wrap up a corgi for the Queen.
More
risqué depictions of the Royal Family include a photo of the Duchess of
Cornwall on the treadmill clutching a gin and tonic and another of
Camilla, this time smoking a cigarette.
Doing the wrapping: A suited Charles and a dressing gowned Camilla wrap up their gifts for the Queen
Breakfast in bed: The Queen, clad in a fetching green nightie, looks delighted as she is given her breakfast
Some for you too: The freshly washed corgis are then shown getting to share Her Majesty's meal
One
particularly amusing set claims to go behind the scenes of Prince
George's 2013 Christening, with one photo showing the Queen looking
horrified as her great grandson is sick on her.
Others
show a nude William and Kate in the bath with George and another in
which the Duchess of Cambridge carefully changes her son's nappy.
The
latest set of photos were created as part of a 'Treat your Mum like a
Queen' campaign being run by the Body Shop ahead of Mothering Sunday.
Campaign: The photos were taken to promote The Body Shop's 'Treat your Mum like a Queen' campaign
