Purchase options and add-ons

Photographer Chris Jackson has been by the Royal family's side on domestic visits and overseas tours for the past fifteen years, resulting in an unparalleled photographic archive of the evolving British Royal family. Occupying a front-row seat to history, Jackson's assignments have taken him to the four corners of the Earth to document the extraordinary breadth and devotion of the Royals to causes such as cancer research, mental health, and HIV awareness in Africa.

In his own words in captions and texts, he reveals the magic as well as the logistics of what it's like to photograph the Royal family. The result is this unique collection of photographs of the modern British Royal Family the archive of this multi-award winning Royal Photographer and current Royal Photographer of the Year.
From the modern-day fairy tale of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding to the births of Prince George and Princess Charlotte and their soon-to-be new sibling to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's historic marriage to countless Royal tours in between, this book presents the British Monarchy and Queen Elizabeth II, its most enduring icon, through the lens of one of its most trusted photographers. Whether it's Prince George's first day of school, the Duchess of Cambridge playing cricket in Mumbai, or the Invictus Games, Jackson records moments both large and small with a warmth and sincerity that has made him a media standout. Organized by theme, from State Occasions to Charity works to a typical year in the Royal Diary, this book celebrates fifteen years of the Royals in intimate portraits of a singular family's role on the world stage at a unique moment in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than I Even Anticipated!!

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my Mother, and once it arrived I couldn't help but unwrap it and look inside! I absolutely love Chris Jackson's work, so I knew this collection of photos would be lovely! But I was blown away by how wonderful this book actually was! Chris' access to the Royal Family is so personal and intimate, that his photos actually make you feel as though you are getting an insider's perspective into the life of this family. Some of the photos I was familiar with, and others were new - but every single image was just beautiful! And the captions to go along with each photo brought a whole new element to each picture. My mother will absolutely cherish this book - and I will be ordering my own copy now as well. Chris, you are so talented, and this work of art you have put out is just stunning! Well done!! I'm hoping this won't be the only book you release!

I knew when I received this book I'd enjoy the photos - I follow Chris Jackson in Instagram & see his photos in newspapers. What I didn't expect was the up close and personal photos that it would contain. Broken down into 9 themed chapters, the photos are less journalistic (i.e. what Getty Images can sell to newspapers) & more creative - Chris uses his craft as a PHOTOGRAPHER to show photos you'd expect to see in a gallery (a shot of Prince Charles' shoe replacing a divot; a close-up detail of Her Majesty's coat). There are wonderful portraits of members of the family (Her Majesty; Prince George on his first day of school; Duchess of Cambridge in Canada). I loved every page.

If you follow the British royal family you have definitely seen Chris's work over the years. His photography is gorgeous and this book compiles some of his favorite photos. The text provides an interesting insight into what it's like to witness these historic events up close. There are some photos I've never seen before so even the most seasoned royal watchers will get some nice surprises. It's a gorgeous coffee table book and an absolute must-buy for any fan of the royal family!

The book really features the most important aspects of being a royal. Supporting charities, visiting places in the UK, the Commonwealth or any country, playing sports but most importantly sticking together as a family. Incredibly beautiful photos and nice stories. If you love the Royal Family you need this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing journey from the man behind the lens
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2018
Verified Purchase
I was anticipating the arrival of this book for a couple of months after having seen it mentioned on Instagram, because there has not been a definitive book on the Royal Family that shows them in all their guises during their official duties. Inevitably, anticipation doesn't always result in satisfaction - but this book has exceeded my expectations totally. The Royal Family have devoted their lives to public service yet we still don't see everything in the press apart from the pics they choose to show us. And they have changed with the times. That is one of the reasons I love this book - the other is apart from the amazing photographs, the narrative by the photographer provides a perfect accompaniment as it explains everything you need to know about the moments in time that Chris Jackson has captured. I'm not always convinced about awards and so on, but reading this book has certainly convinced me that this three-time winner of Royal Photographer of the Year is on a different level. Although I am not yet half-way through it, I am compelled to urge anyone who has even the slightest interest in the monarchy, charitable support and Britain's heritage to grab a copy! Fantastic value and a wonderful coffee-table book to boot!
