Breathtaking photographs and stories capturing forty-five years of the British monarchy, from the longtime Royal Photographer for the Sun newspaper.

For 45 years I’ve chronicled the Royal Family for the Sun newspaper with my camera. I’ve witnessed their triumphs and disasters, their laughter and tears, when they’ve found love and when their relationships splinter. I’m there when they emerge from the maternity wing as wailing newborns and I’m there again when they marry before a joyous nation. And when they’re laid to rest on those solemn occasions that this country marks so well, I’m on hand to capture history being made . . .

Originally from the East End of London, Arthur Edwards is the longest-serving Royal Photographer of any newspaper—and has chronicled the lives of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and the most famous family in the world. With commensurate skill and unprecedented access, he has captured the candid moments when protocol is put aside, revealing the true personalities behind the Crown.

This beautiful book is a treasure trove of glorious photography, along with Arthur’s own warm recollections of the stories behind his iconic shots. It is the perfect glimpse behind the scenes of the British monarchy, from a truly unique perspective.
