A press photographer managed to take intimate photos of the royal family during the funeral of Prince Philip on Saturday in the most discreet way.
Arthur Edwards, the royal photographer for The Sun, stood for three hours inside a false pillar just in front of St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, where the Duke of Edinburgh’s reduced service took place.
And the discreet place could have been under the orders of the late prince, Edwards told ITV’s “Lorraine” on Monday.
“He arranged all the funeral arrangements and there was never any position next to the west door in a hiding place. He was a very enthusiastic bird watcher and built several furs in Sandringham, so I thought it must have been his idea. “, explained. .
Edwards, 80, said Buckingham Palace provided him with lunch and “a large, swollen, soft pillow with a crown to sit on.”
The three hours “went like lightning,” he added.
