The late monarch passed away on September 8 at the age of 96 following a record-breaking 70-year reign. Royal photographer Chris Jackson has now explained that Her late Majesty “understood” that it might be one of the “most exciting days of their lives” for everyone she met. He said: “The Queen was an absolutely incredible person to photograph. I mean, people talk regarding her aura and that’s no understatement. She walked into a room and it was just a normal working day for her, but for the people who met her, it might be one of the most exciting days of her life. I think she understood that.”
