MAJESTY AND MOTHERHOOD
Queen Elizabeth II features heavily in the trove of prints from the Royal Collection and Royal Archives, but one striking image in particular stands out.
Taken by royal favourite Cecil in 1968, the stark and simple portrait shows the monarch wearing a woollen admiral's boat cloak, her head tilted to the left and a pensive expression on her face.
Speaking to HELLO! in April, exhibition curator Alessandro Nasini told us it is his favourite piece in the show.
"This is from the last sitting Beaton had with Her late Majesty," he said. "It is quite unusual in many ways, including the fact that the sitting was granted to him at his request.
"I think it is a very strong image with Queen Elizabeth II standing in front of a plain background," he added. "She is, of course, the monarch, but she's stripped of royal trappings such as tiaras and insignia and shown, perhaps, more as a woman, the single solitary person onto whom the great responsibility of the monarchy is bestowed.
