Arthur Edwards | Behind The Crown
Behind the Crown: My Life Photographing the Royal Family is a remarkable visual record of almost half a century of British royal history. Arthur Edwards, the longest-serving Royal Photographer for The Sun, brings together his most iconic images and personal recollections of the triumphs, tragedies, celebrations and private emotions that have shaped the modern monarchy.
From royal weddings, births and state occasions to moments of grief, family tension and spontaneous warmth, Edwards captures the rare occasions when protocol falls away and the personalities behind the Crown are revealed. His photographs chronicle the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the life of King Charles III, the enduring legacy of Princess Diana and the changing face of Britain’s most famous family.
Lavishly illustrated and enriched by the photographer’s warm, candid storytelling, this book offers an intimate and distinctive perspective on the Royal Family. It is an exceptional gift for admirers of royal history, documentary photography and beautifully produced collector’s books.
