About the Author:
Arthur Edwards has been photographing the British royal family for The Sun
newspaper for nearly 40 years and is responsible for many of their most iconic
and intimate images (examples below). He came to royal photography by accident
in 1976 when he captured a “cracking shot” of a young Prince Charles in
action on the polo field, and has since become a royal favourite. Princess Diana
used to call him “Arthur,” while Prince Charles tells visiting dignitaries
that “Mr. Edwards has been with me for over 30 years.” In 2003 he was
awarded the prestigious MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for
outstanding service to newspapers. Mr. Edwards has covered more than
200 international royal tours in more than 120 countries, seven weddings, four
funerals and seven royal births.
