Royal photographer, Chris Jackson, has been photographing the Prince and Princess of Wales’ children since the very first day they left the Lindo Wing, and has captured some incredible moments over the years.
Chris has been lucky to be present at their Christenings, and first royal tours, such as Prince George’s visit to Australia, and has also been personally asked by the royal couple to capture big family milestones.
On Prince George’s first day at St Thomas’ Battersea school, Chris was in charge of capturing the youngster’s nervous smile alongside his proud dad at the front door of their Kensington Palace home. Sadly, mum Kate missed the big affair due to illness.
And who can forget the incredible 70th birthday portraits that the then-Prince Charles posed for alongside his two sons, their wives, and his grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who stole the show?
Listen to the episode above to find out what is “really important” for him, and other photographers, when photographing royal children.
Also, during our chat, in which the Queen’s former press secretary Ailsa Anderson and former Norland Nanny Sarah Carpenter also feature, Chris, reveals some of his favourite photographs and what went through his head whilst witnessing the royal children enjoying themselves during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee pageant.
