Magic Moments

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 the protocol is put aside and the mask of duty slips to reveal the true personalities behind the public figures. 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 monarchy changed beyond recognition.

For more than 30 years, under five editors, Arthur Edwards has been Royal Photographer of Britain's best-selling daily newspapers, the Sun. Arthur, from London's East End, has chronicled the Royal Family through good times and bad, building up personal relationships with several of them. He has been responsible for many of the iconic Royal images printed the world over. Awarded the MBE for services to newspapers in 2003, Arthur is also now in great demand as a respected Royal commentator.
