Camilla, Duchess of Cornwallis revealing what it was like to pose for a magazine cover — withKate Middletonas herphotographer!
“She did very good pictures, and she does it sort of naturally. We had a lot of fun doing it,” Camilla said in the clip.
The Duchess of Cornwall added, “It was very relaxed and, of course, very kind of the Duchess of Cambridge. She came with her camera and she’s an extremely good photographer. And it was all very casual — there wasn’t much hair and make-up. It was just done in the garden with a lot of laughs — it was a lovely way of doing it.”
Camilla also shared that one particular photo had the seal of approval fromPrince Charles— pointing to the final cover image, which shows her seated on a bench with a basket filled with pelargoniums.
When asked if she was happy with the final product, Camilla replied, “If I can get over the fact I’m looking at myself, I think that they’re very nice and I think they’re just what’s needed forCountry Life.”

The shoot took place in the garden of Camilla’s home Raymill in Wiltshire, and it was Camilla’s idea to tap Kate as her photographer.
“She immediately replied, ‘Oh,I’d quite like Catherine to do it,’ “Country Lifeeditor Mark Hedges said, according toThe Telegraph.
“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.”
Kate is often behind birthday portraits of her three children —Prince George, 8,Princess Charlotte, 7, andPrince Louis, 4 — and other family moments.

During the interview, Camilla also reflected on her relationship withPrince Philip, who died in April 2021 at the age of 99.
“The Duke of Edinburgh was always a very good ear,” Camilla said. “He was a role model to me and a very good person to take advice from because he always told me what he thought.”
As a consort to his wifeQueen Elizabeth, Prince Philip no doubt provided Camilla with an idea of her role when Prince Charles becomes monarch one day.
