Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Wedding Day Was ‘Miserable’ For Photographers
Royal photographer Arthur Edwards – who has been photographing the royal family since 1977 – explained to The Sun that the wedding was “miserable” for him, largely because of Prince Harry’s demands about keeping the media away.
“The day was a miserable day,” Edwards confessed. “I can tell you now it was the worst royal wedding I ever did. Because Harry was determined to keep the newspapers away from it as much as possible,” he continued, before going on to say how he and other photographers were forced to take their pictures to adhere to Prince Harry’s demands.

Royal Photographer Recalls How The British Press Were ‘Badly Treated’
“Everything was done on long lenses,” he explained. “I had an 800-millimeter lens photographing the guests arriving. The photographers they engaged for the job was five feet away. It was just hopeless.”
Although there are some great pictures from the wedding, including the ones of the new husband and wife kissing outside St. George’s Chapel and leaving the chapel in their carriage, many of Edwards’ pictures didn’t actually turn out the way he intended. He explained that the newlyweds actually “looked the other way” when they were in the carriage, and added: “For me, it was a disaster.”
Edwards was asked by the outlet if the Duke of Sussex’s demands were “deliberate” and he was “made to feel unwelcome,” to which he answered: “I felt so.” He added: “It wasn’t just me. It was the whole of the British press, in many ways were badly treated.”
