Royal photographer Chris Jackson has worked with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle both out in public and behind-the-scenes – and now he’s revealed his experiences of being with the couple

A royal photographer who has worked behind-the-scenes with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has revealed what they are really like.

Chris Jackson, who is the official royal phtographer for Getty Images, has snapped pictures of the pair both in their royal roles and after they quit to forge a new life in the US.

He’s travelled around the world on trips with the couple, including with Harry to the likes of Lesotho and Bali. And he’s been at Harry’s Invictus Games for wounded servicemen and women, where he was asked to capture behind the scenes moments away from other photographers.

And revealing what his experiences have been with the Sussexes, the snapper told Page Six: “I’ve always had a great experience photographing them both.” He called the Invictus Games “an incredible achievement”, said that he enjoyed all of the trips he has been on with the couple, who he described as having a “great dynamic”.

Mr Jackson’s comments came at a New York event to launch his new book, Modern Majesty, which features a collection of his images of the Royal Family.

He has captured many memorable behind the scenes photos of all of the royals, including a shot taken from the Buckingham Palace balcony on the King’s Coronation Day.

He also took a series of family portraits that included Harry and Meghan as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children for the King’s 70th birthday.

He added: “There’s all these different characters in the royal family. So I’ve always enjoyed photographing them. They do very much just crack on with the job, and it’s my job to kind of document and tell the story of whatever they’re doing on the day.

“You don’t really get that kind of feedback in photos. I mean, I think they understand the importance of photos and the power of photos.

“Generally, I think if there is good coverage of something they are trying to make a difference in, they are probably positive about that. But I don’t think it’s really a vanity thing in terms of how they look in the pictures and that kind of side of it. You know, 50 percent of my job is luck. So many of the pictures in the book are unexpected moments.”
