Speaking on photographing Britain’s number one personality, Leibowitz said “The most moving, important thing about this shoot is that these were all her ideas,” she added, “She wanted to be photographed with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh; her daughter,Anne, the Princess Royal; and her corgis (her dogs).

“I was told how relaxed she was at Windsor, and it was really true. You get the sense of how at peace she was with herself, and very much enthralled with her family.”
