LONDON (July 5, 2022)— In celebration of The Duchess of Cornwall’s upcoming 75th birthday and the magazine’s 125th anniversary, Her Royal Highness has guest edited a special commemorative edition of Country Life Magazine, to be published on Wednesday 13th July.
Country Life editor-in-chief Mark Hedges said in a statement that the magazine is “thrilled” with the images.
“We understand this is the first time a formal portrait of The Duchess of Cornwall has been taken by The Duchess of Cambridge for a magazine,” Hedges said, “and we are honored to have been chosen to be the first to publish this beautiful photograph.”
He added: “The photographs are superb and we would be delighted to offer The Duchess of Cambridge another commission!”
According to The Telegraph, when it came time to discuss the cover image, Country Life editor Mark Hedges asked Camilla if she had any thoughts.
“She immediately replied, ‘Oh I’d quite like Catherine to do it,'” Hedges said.
“I spent the next three or four minutes desperately racking my brains trying to think of a professional photographer called Catherine.
“Then suddenly I grasped what she meant—one of the most amazing things that could happen,” he continued.
“I found it one of the easier things to nod my head at.”
