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. Arthur Edwards has been the Sun¿s Royal Photographer for over 45 years the
longest-serving of any newspaper. Originally from the East End of London he is the man behind
the most iconic photographs of 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 last 50 years of the British monarchy from
a truly unique perspective.
