Cup of Tea, Arthur?: My Extraordinary 50 Years Photographing the Royal Family

'Arthur’s experience in the role is unparalleled and this is a truly captivating memoir of an extraordinary career, told by the man the royals themselves seek out in the crowd.' Emily Nash.

‘Arthur Edwards is one of the greatest newspaper photographers in history and a man whose professionalism and charm have made him liked and respected by many members of the royal family.’ Piers Morgan

After half a century in the best job in the world, I have covered two hundred royal tours in more than a hundred and twenty countries, photographed seven royal weddings, five funerals, seven births, three Jubilees and a coronation.

For more than fifty years, Arthur Edwards has been the definitive photographer of the British royal family, capturing their most private and historic moments.

This beautifully illustrated memoir traces Arthur's remarkable journey from growing up as the son of a lorry driver in London’s East End, to earning the trust of the Royal Family and becoming a close friend to King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Now, Arthur tells his stories behind the photographs – revealing the moments he had previously kept private, and the untold stories behind his remarkable access to the most photographed family in the world.

They say the harder you work, the luckier you get.

‘He’s a very good photographer, a jolly good bloke and a very special person.’ King Charles III
