‘I think the royal family over the past century have understood the importance of photography’
Leaning with one arm up against the wall as he gazes across at his little sister, an eight-year-old Prince Charles looks every inch the doting older brother in a never-before-seen royal portrait.
The striking image, taken in 1956 by photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, who later married Princess Margaret to become the Earl of Snowdon, is one of more than 150 items going on display in the King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace in a new exhibition opening in May.
