New photo As Prince Charles celebrates his 70th birthday with Sun readers, our royal photographer shares his favourite moments from past 42 years

WHEN Prince Charles turned 70 this week, the Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards gave him the perfect gift.

He presented the Prince of Wales with an album capturing treasured moments from their 42 years working together — the future King and the photographer from London’s East End.

From crazy ski gear and sledging to traditional dancing and mucking in with oxen in India, they show Charles’s colourful life in pictures.

Arthur, 78, started photographing the heir to the throne in 1976 and has covered royal visits to more than 120 countries for Britain’s favourite newspaper.

Tea party

At a huge Sun tea party Charles hosted at opulent Spencer House in central London this week for 70 readers turning the same age as him, the Prince said: “Our overseas visits would never be the same without Arthur. I get more and more worried because he is more advanced than we are. I’m worried about the number of cameras and bits of equipment he carries in hot countries.

“He’s a very good photographer and a jolly good bloke — a very special person.”

Arthur said afterwards: “I am deeply touched by the Prince’s kind words.”

During the tea party, Charles and Camilla pored over Arthur’s album.

Here, Arthur recalls the stories behind some of his favourite shots.

 

SKIING, 1980

Charles laughed out loud at this picture. We had spotted him skiing down a slope wearing a false nose, funny glasses and a fake moustache, pretending he was someone’s Uncle Harry. So all the photographers went out and bought masks and comic noses, and he posed for a picture with us[/caption]

 

LENDING A HAND IN INDIA, 1980

Charles was meeting some farmers on the visit. There were two bullocks pulling a plough along – and then the Prince had a go at the ploughing[/caption]

 

SLOPING OFF, 1980

Prince Charles was skiing in Klosters, Switzerland. Late one evening I spotted him flying face-down on a sledge. I got a front-page exclusive snap[/caption]

 

CHARLES AND CAMILLA IN WASHINGTON DC, 2005

I took this lovely picture at a school where they signed the visitors’ book – but Camilla wouldn’t give Charles his pen back. When I photographed it, I just went straight off and wired it because it was such a good snap. The Duchess laughed when I told her that[/caption]

SIWA, EGYPT, 2006

I took this photo in the desert town of Siwa. Charles and Camilla were walking up a slight hill, linking arms and each wearing a straw hat. Charles joked, “We look like Darby and Joan”[/caption]

MEXICAN FLAG DANCE, 2014

I told Charles: “You are a really good dancer” and showed him photos of him twirling in the Amazon rainforest, strutting his stuff in New Zealand and even doing a rain dance in India. But when he spotted this picture of him taking part in a Mexican flag dance, he smiled and said: “It looks like I’m doing the hokey-cokey”[/caption]

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
