According toThe Telegraph,Country Lifeeditor Mark Hedges asked Camilla if she had any thoughts about the photos.
“She immediately replied, ‘Oh, I’d quite like Catherine to do it,'” Hedges said. “I spent the next three or four minutes desperately racking my brains trying to think of a professional photographer called Catherine. Then suddenly I grasped what she meant — one of the most amazing things that could happen. I found it one of the easier things to nod my head at.”
“She did very good pictures, and she does it sort of naturally. We had a lot of fun doing it,” the Duchess of Cornwall explained. “It was very relaxed and, of course, very kind of the Duchess of Cambridge. She came with her camera and she’s an extremely good photographer. And it was all very casual — there wasn’t much hair and make-up. It was just done in the garden with a lot of laughs — it was a lovely way of doing it.”
Camilla also shared that one particular photo had the seal of approval fromPrince Charles— pointing to the final cover image, which shows her seated on a bench with a basket filled with pelargoniums.
When asked if she was happy with the final product, Camilla replied, “If I can get over the fact I’m looking at myself, I think that they’re very nice and I think they’re just what’s needed forCountry Life.”
