Arthurs tremendous career has led to his becoming the most familiar face on the royal circuit & the respect he shows his subjects means that he is a popular figure with the royals themselves. Indeed Princess Diana referred to him as our Arthur & Prince Charles introduces him to world leaders when they are on royal tours. He has been on hand to capture some of the most significant & poignant royal images of our time: he was there to witness happy & loving moments at the start of Charles & Dianas marriage; he saw Prince Williams first steps & was there for Prince Harrys first day at Eton. As well as having taken magical & momentous pictures Arthur has some fascinating stories to go with them. Take for example a time in Klosters when Patti Palmer-Tomkinson announced to the assembled press that her Uncle Harry would be joining her party
- & out stepped Prince Charles wearing fake glasses nose & moustache; in Toxteth Liverpool a young lad rode up to Princess Diana & asked her for a kiss
- & she obliged. It was also Arthur who pointed out to Prince Charles during a polo match that his flies were down
- having checked with Arthur that nothing was showing the Prince then carried on playing! This wonderful book is packed with the very best of Arthurs delightful colour pictures & unique stories from someone who has been present as history & headlines have been made. Within these pages is a valuable record of three decades during which the face of Britains monarchy changed beyond recognition.
