Lookalikes of the Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles and Camilla have been captured enjoying a coffee break by the famed photographer - and even pose for a selfie taken by the Queen
Relaxing with their feet up, sipping on their lattes, the royal family have been spotted enjoying a well-earned coffee pit-stop after a hard day of Christmas shopping.
But look closely and you'll see this isn't a rare insight into the royal run up to Christmas; it's the work of artist Alison Jackson.
The snapper is renowned for her elaborate 'spoof' productions, which give an imaginary and amusing behind-the-scenes look into the world of celebrities and royals.

It is not known where the royal family will be spending Christmas this year but no doubt Kate and William are excited to celebrate the day as a family of four.
Earlier this week, the Duchess of Cambridge released a snap she took of six-month-old Princess Charlotte.
The two new photos of the fourth in line to the throne were released by Kensington Palace as a means of thanking the public for its support and interest since the couple’s daughter was born on May 2.
They were taken by keen photographer Kate, 33, at Anmer Hall, the Cambridges’ ten-bedroom Norfolk mansion, in early November. The couple are basing themselves there with their family while William works as a pilot for the East Anglia Air Ambulance.
They show that Charlotte, not seen in public since her christening in July, is growing up fast. She is able to sit almost unaided in a ‘shabby chic’-look armchair covered with a green and beige checked fabric.

Initially the pictures weren’t intended for public view but the duchess was so pleased with them – and the positive response her last photographs of George and Charlotte received – that she decided to release them.
Kensington Palace said in a statement: ‘The duke and duchess continue to receive warm messages about Princess Charlotte from all around the world and they hope that everyone enjoys these lovely photos as much as they do.’
A royal aide added: ‘The duke and duchess are very grateful for the support they have received when it comes to their children and wanted to share these very charming pictures taken by the duchess. It is something they intend to continue to do.’
Although the couple are keen for their children to enjoy as normal a childhood as possible away from the public glare, William enjoys talking about his daughter. He has described her as a ‘little joy of heaven’ and as being very well-behaved and ‘ladylike’ in comparison to her boisterous big brother.
