Critics Review

“Modern Majesty brings a compelling and beautifully curated portrait of a royal family reinventing itself in the twenty-first century.” — HELLO LOVELY STUDIO”…collects many previously unpublished photographs, behind-the-scenes moments, and shares the secrets behind them. “ — VANITYFAIR.COM“The Getty Images photog shares several behind-the-scenes moments and photographs throughout the book…” — US WEEKLY“The monarch recently gave longtime royal photographer Chris Jackson a tour of “Cluckingham Palace,” the chicken coop at his beloved Highgrove estate. The photos are featured in Jackson’s new photo book, “Modern Majesty.” Jackson has photographed Charles, 77, for more than 20 years.” — FOX NEWS DIGITAL: ENTERTAINMENT“Jackson, whose latest book, Modern Majesty, was published on March 3, says as a royal photographer, you “start an event with an image in your mind, and sometimes it pans out like that and sometimes it doesn’t.”’ — MARIE CLAIRE’“King Charles has certainly approached aspects of the role differently, as one would expect, diversifying and modernizing. For me, the title [of the book] encapsulates how the royal family is moving forward, honoring tradition while adopting a more open and modern approach to the monarchy,” he continued of its significance.” — CHRIS JACKSON TO PEOPLE MAGAZINE‘“I get all these kind of little moments,” Jackson said, sharing that it’s lovely that he gets a front seat view of George’s “father-son relationship” with the Prince of Wales.“Photographing them over the years has been really special,” he said.” — CHRIS JACKSON TO THE NEW YORK POST (PAGE SIX)“His fourth book, Modern Majesty: The British Royal Family in a New Era, published this month, features images—many that have never been seen before—tracing that shift from the second Elizabethan era through Charles’s accession. It also offers behind-the-scenes commentary on what it takes to photograph one of the world’s most scrutinized families.” — TOWN COUNTRY
