A royal photographer for 35 years, Mr Edwards - appointed an MBE in 2003 for services to journalism - also recounted one of his early jobs, when he was given the task of taking Prince Charles's picture.
The prince had just moved into Highgrove House and Mr Edwards was tasked to photograph him on his estate so he chose a public footpath at the bottom of the gardens as his position to take the shot.
"I'm walking along this path with a big telescopic lens on my shoulder and he came galloping up on his horse," he said.
"'What are you doing on my land?' he screamed and I said 'I'm not on your land, I'm on a public footpath sir'.
"He said 'public footpaths are for walking on, not taking pictures from'. I didn't know what else to say so I just said 'I'm doing my job' and he said 'some job'. So I said 'at least I've got a job'. |
