This portraitback to top

Before her marriage, the princess worked as a nanny and nursery school teacher. She exhibits her natural rapport with children in this informal portrait, taken after the wedding ceremony as she chats with her youngest bridesmaid Clementine Hambro, one of her former charges. As an established society and fashion photographer and a cousin of Her Majesty the Queen, Lichfield was eminently qualified to take the official wedding photographs for the Prince and Princess of Wales.
