And now, she’s extended her portfolio to other royals, with Camilla inviting Kate to shoot a magazine cover shoot for her 75th birthday. A picture of the Duchess of Cornwall taken by the Duchess of Cambridge is on the cover of this month’s Country Life magazine. Camilla edited the magazine to mark her 75th birthday and 125th anniversary of publication. Taken in the garden of her private home in Wiltshire, Ray Mill, the cover photo shows the future Queen Consort smiling as she sits on a wooden bench holding a basket of pelargoniums. Photo: HRH The Duchess of Cambridge “We are delighted that our Guest Editor has been captured so beautifully by royal photographer The Duchess of Cambridge,” said Country Life Editor-in-Chief Mark Hedges. “We understand that this is the first time that an official portrait of the Duchess of Cornwall has been taken by the Duchess of Cambridge for a magazine and we are honored to have been chosen to be the first to publish this beautiful photograph. The photos are wonderful and we would be delighted to offer the Duchess of Cambridge another commission!” Kate took a series of photos at Ray Mill. Another photo, which will appear inside the magazine, shows Camila walking among the forgotten. The Duchess of Cornwall turns 75 on July 17 and has also marked the occasion by giving an interview and photoshoot for British Vogue. The Duchess of Cambridge is a keen photographer in private, and the interest has been informed by her public work as well. He recently presided over the publication of the photographic project Hold Still, which saw 100 images capturing “a portrait of the nation” during the COVID-19 pandemic published in a book and National Portrait Gallery exhibition. The decision to photograph the Duchess of Cornwall in the garden of her private home highlights Camilla’s love of the outdoors, presents an informal portrait and also reminds us that she and Prince Charles both enjoy their independence. After the couple married in 2005, Camilla kept her own Ray Mill home in south-west England where she spends many weekends with her children and grandchildren. The story continues This is not the first time a member of the royal family has edited Country Life. Prince Charles did so to celebrate his 65th and 70th birthdays, and Princess Anne recently took on the role of editor for her 70th birthday in 2020. The special edition of the magazine will be released on July 13. You may also like it
