A press photographer managed to take intimate photos with the royal family during Prince Philip’s funeral on Saturday, in the most discreet way.
Arthur Edwards, the royal photographer for The Sun, sat for three hours in a false post right in front of St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, where the reduced service for the Duke of Edinburgh took place.
And the discreet place could have been at the behest of the late prince himself, Edwards told ITV’s “Lorena” on Monday.
“He arranged all the funeral arrangements and there was never a position near the west door in a hiding place and he was a very keen bird watcher and built several skins at Sandringham, so I thought he must be it was his idea, “he explained. .
Edwards, 80, said Buckingham Palace offered him lunch and “a large, fluffy, soft pillow with a crown to sit on.”
The three hours “went like lightning,” he added.
