• What's it like to photograph the King?

  Royal photographer Hugo Burnand shares the full story behind the official portrait of King Charles III - taken inside Windsor Castle in 2023. With 20,000 copies destined for public buildings across the UK and Commonwealth, this wasn’t just any photo – it was the photograph. Co-host and fellow royal photographer Cambridge Jones sits down with Hugo to uncover the intense preparation, creative vision and technical challenges that went into capturing the King inside the dimly lit Grand Corridor. From scouting the perfect royal setting and conducting test shots, to navigating palace protocol and dealing with potentially controversial visual details, Hugo takes us behind the curtain of royal portrait photography.
