Long-serving Sun photographer Arthur Edwards MBE is known to the Queen as Mr Edwards, Prince Charles as Arthur, and is shown great “respect” by Princes William and Harry. Over his 38 years as a royal photographer, Edwards estimates he’s travelled to more than 100 countries on 200-plus tours with the family.

And when he’s not covering the royals, he’s with the Prime Minister, behind the scenes at Wembley stadium or travelling abroad for high-profile events – and that was last week alone. Edwards spoke to Press Gazette as he was travelling back from Belgium, where he covered the reburial of six British soldiers from World War I who were discovered in a farmer’s field.
