Since the encounter, which took place in the early 1980s, Mr Edwards – who, at 84, is still working as a royal photographer – said that he now shares a personal bond with the King.
Speaking of the monarch, he said: “I started off thinking I didn’t care what happened it was all about getting the shot. I wouldn’t dream of doing that now,. I respect him too much. Not only have I changed in my attitude to him, I’ve changed the attitude of the paper to him.”
King Charles recently shared on the offices account for his beloved residence. In on picture, complete with a whimsical arched doorway which is reminiscent of a fairytale, the pathway can be seen lined with trimmed hedges and blooming shrubs.
Sparking a reaction from delighted fans, the caption – alongside the pictures – read, “Today is the first official day of winter, and there’s no better way to embrace the new season than with a snowy view of the gardens.”
