Camilla has praised the ‘very
natural’ photography skills of the Duchess of Cambridge as she revealed a
picture that Prince Charles ‘approves of’ that was taken ‘in the garden with
lots of laughs’.
The Duchess of Cornwall has
spoken about guest editing Country Life magazine, which will contain a number
of pictures taken by her step-daughter-in-law, in celebration of her 75th
birthday.
The special edition of the
magazine, which will be available from Wednesday, will feature a photograph of
Camilla taken by Kate on its front page.
It was taken at Ray Mill
House, Camilla’s country retreats in Lacock, Wiltshire. She bought the
six-bedroom property, 17 miles from the Prince of Wales’ Highgrove home, after
her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles in the mid-1990s.
Speaking in a documentary
following her role as guest editor for ITV, Camilla said: ‘They are very good
pictures. She does it very naturally. We had a lot of fun doing it.
‘It was very relaxed and very
kind that the Duchess of Cambridge came with her camera – she is an extremely
good photographer. It was all very casual.
‘There wasn’t much hair or
makeup. It was just done in the garden with a lot of laughs. It was a lovely
way of doing it.’
And referring to one
photograph in particular, she added: ‘This is the one I know that my husband
approves of. Catherine said if anything else needed to be done she would be
happy to.
‘If I can get over the fact
looking at myself, I think they are very nice and just what is needed for
Country Life.’
