In terms of royal photography, Arthur Edwards is a legend. This book is packed with some of the best of Arthur's colour pictures and stories from someone who has been present as history and headlines have been made. It is a record of three decades during which the face of Britain's monarchy changed beyond recognition.
In terms of royal photography, Arthur Edwards is a legend. For thirty years, he has captured the most poignant and memorable moments in the recent history of the monarchy for the "Sun" newspaper. His images range from candid shots, to intimate portraits, to rare moments when protocol is put aside and the mask of duty slips to reveal the true personalities behind the public figures. Arthur's tremendous career has led to his becoming the most familiar face on the Royal circuit and the respect he shows his subjects means that he is a popular figure with the Royals themselves. Indeed, Princess Diana referred to him as 'our Arthur' and Prince Charles introduces him to world leaders when they are on Royal tours. He has been on hand to capture some of the most significant and poignant Royal images of our time. As well as having taken magical and momentous pictures, Arthur has some fascinating stories to go with them. Take, for example, a time in Klosters, when Patti Palmer-Tomkinson announced to the assembled press that her 'Uncle Harry' would be joining her party - and out stepped Prince Charles wearing false glasses, nose and moustache.
It was also Arthur who pointed out to Prince Charles during a polo match that his flies were down - having checked with Arthur that nothing was showing, the Prince then carried on playing! This wonderful book is packed with the very best of Arthur's delightful colour pictures and unique stories from someone who has been present as history and headlines have been made. Within these pages is a valuable record of three decades during which the face of Britain's monarchy changed beyond recognition.

As The Sun's Royal photographer since 1977 Arthur Edwards has visited over 100 countries following different members of the Royal Family. His services to photography were recognised by The Queen when he was presented with an MBE at Buckingham Palace. He had a great rapport with the late Princess of Wales and spent 17 years covering every aspect of her life. In his career he has been into the White House Oval office, The Kremlin and the Pope's private office with members of the Royal Family. A devoted husband, father and grandfather - any spare time is spent watching his beloved West Ham United.
