Cup of Tea, Arthur?

For more than fifty years, Arthur Edwards has been the definitive photographer of the British royal family, capturing their most private and historic moment.
This book traces Arthurs remarkable journey from growing up as the son of a lorry driver in London’s East End, starting out as a photographer hiding in the bushes to get the shot, to earning the trust of the Royal Family and becoming a close friend of King Charles and the Queen.
Arthur was the first photographer to greet a grieving King Charles on his return to London for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral. He took the first press photographs of Princess Diana and travelled the world with her for 17 years, documenting major royal relationships including Charles and Diana, Charles and Camilla, and William and Kate.
Now, after fifty years at the heart of the royal family, Arthur tells the stories behind the photographs – revealing the moments he kept private, and the untold stories behind images the world thought it already knew, from the heartbreaking to the humorous and unexpected.
