Footnotes

Cecil Beaton's career as a royal photographer did not stop with Queen Elizabeth II, but extended to the documentation of the rest of her growing family too. This portrait of the now King Charles III was taken around the age of 20 at Buckingham Palace; a year before his official investiture as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle.

A similar example is held at the Victorian and Albert Museum, PH.243-1987.
