photos of British monarchy on Flickr

I discovered a resourceful royalty link. :-) Besides from the official website of British Monarchy, royal watchers can now view the latest photos of the British Royal Family on Flickr. This was launched by the Buckingham Palace on 25th July 2010:

from the official press release:

The account includes:

- A “Latest news and diary” gallery showing the latest photographs from royal engagements.
- Collections from The Queen’s recent visit to Canada and New York, and Holyrood Week.
- A “Queen and Commonwealth” section, which includes pictures of Royal visits to Commonwealth realms and related engagements.
- Specially commissioned photographs for the exhibition The Queen’s Year at Buckingham Palace Summer Opening taken during The Queen’s programme of engagements over the past twelve months (including a State Banquet, a military review, diplomatic credentials and a Garden Party).
- Photography by Roger Fenton, Julia Margaret Cameron and other pioneering practitioners of the medium. These were collected by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who lent their enthusiastic support to the new art form.
- Photographs of two generations of royal children, taken by Marcus Adams from 1926 to 1956, including images of The Queen and The Prince of Wales as babies.

In total at launch there are over 600 photographs, and this figure will increase as the Flickr account is continuously updated with photos from Royal engagements and events.

Happy explore!
