Longtime royal photographer Arthur Edwards said that the first glimpse of Prince Archie, Queen Camilla's son・in-law, came from a photo he showed her of Archie on his phone.
Longtime royal photographer Arthur Edwards certainly has quite a few stories to tell from the line of his work ・ and here's 1: Edwards said that it was he who saw the first picture of her son—in-law, Prince Archie, when Queen Camilla was born in 2019-5, according to the Mirror. It is not the first time that we have seen such a large number of people.
Edwards, who has been photographing the Royal family since 1977, said he was on a royal tour in Germany with Camilla when Archie was born on 5/6, and was the first to show Camilla a picture of Archie, which he described as a "difficult time" for her. (She is now Queen Camilla; in 2019, she was the Duchess of Cornwall on May 5.)
Remember, Archie's parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, took a different approach than Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and later the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (the titles of William and Kate before becoming Prince and Princess of Wales in 2022).It was decided to introduce Archie to the world. There was no Linkwing photocall to introduce the new baby to the press, and instead Harry, Meghan and Archie took part in the photocall two days after their birth at Windsor Castle. (It's not apple-to-apple and not that this is not the so-called "right" way, but William and Kate's children were usually presented on the steps of the Lindo Wing within hours of each birth.)Of the decision, Harry and Meghan said in their eponymous Netflix document series, "There was already a photo pressure with Archie on the step." "Are they trying to do it, or are they not?" he asked."But I was really worried about getting into that labor, because I'm older [she was 37 when Archie was born], and I have a C-section
Megan said, "I had a very long-standing relationship with the doctor, and that's the person I trusted in my pregnancy. And they said, "Yes, but she's in Portland Hospital and the step is in this hospital [Lindo Wing]."And I said, "Okay, we can do a photocall in front of Portland Hospital.They said, "It's impossible." We could not barricade the street, and that's where you have to do this picture, so it will create a threat for the entrance to the emergency room."Instead, the alternative plan for the 5/8 photocall at Windsor Castle was the one that was decided.
"I remember showing Camilla in Munich in the first photo of Archie taken by the press," Edwards said. "I showed her on my phone, and it was the first time she saw him. It was a difficult time."
Harry has not had the warmest relationship with his stepmother for many years — perhaps not hard to imagine, Harry's parents' marriage decision (to be fair, perhaps it would have ended eventually without Camilla, but we never know.In his 2023 memoir, Spare, Harry claimed that Camilla played a "long game" in a campaign specifically aimed at his father, Charles, and therefore the "crown.""
"I had mixed feelings about getting a stepfather who I believed had recently sacrificed me at her personal PR altar," Harry wrote, We also call her "dangerous."
A source told the Daily Beast that Harry's public comments about Camilla could be a big part of what has prevented Harry and his father's reconciliation."Harry made things very difficult for himself by saying such cruel and harmful things about Camilla. They added that Charles is torn between his love for his son and his love for his wife, who he married in 2005 after more or less 30 years in love.
"Charles loves his sons, but he also loves his wife," they said. "The last few months (after his cancer diagnosis in a month) have made it very clear how important she is. Harry made it very clear, very publicly, that he despised her. Camilla and he chose each other a long time ago, so he was forced to make a choice to Charles, it was very stupid to do."
When Harry was in the UK celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus games and couldn't see his father because the king's schedule was too full, it's the tension between father and son that continues into the current month. According to The Sunday Times' Royal editor Roya Nikka (who was speaking on the podcast "Roya and Kate's Royals"), Harry was asked by the king to stay at the Royal Palace, saying: "In fact, I found out that Harry asked if I could stay [at the Royal Palace], and Charles said, "Yes, come and stay." He said, "Please, son." And it turned all over its head "Because I wanted to see my father, but he was too busy to see me," given what's going on in my diary and your diary because you stay in the Royal Palace and you're close to where I am, and it turned all over its head, because the story from Harry "I wanted to see my father, but he was too busy to see me," "He said, ""He said, " "He said, " "He said, " "He said, " "He said, " "He said, " "He said, " "He said, " "He said, " "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said, " "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said," "He said,"" In fact, reality
Marie Claire reported earlier this month that Harry had rejected the offer due to security concerns.
As for Camilla, as for Harry, Lady Lansdowne, the Queen's best friend, told the Sunday Times: "Of course it bothers her and of course it hurts." "But she doesn't tell her that. Her philosophy is always, "Don't do that thing, and it will settle down — at least be told and repaired soon."’”
