Getty’s Chris Jackson Lauds Harry and Meghan at Launch of ‘Modern Majesty’

His remarks point to a photo-led push for greater public access under King Charles.

Overview

  • At a New York event for his new photo book, Chris Jackson said he has always had a great experience photographing Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
  • Jackson recalled traveling with Harry to Lesotho and Bali and shooting behind-the-scenes at the Invictus Games, which he called an incredible achievement.
  • He said Modern Majesty focuses on the daily work of active royals, keeping the spotlight on public duties rather than private drama.
  • Jackson described the monarchy as more open under King Charles, with longer meet-and-greets and selfies that bring the public closer.
  • He said the royals value photography as a way to tell their story over vanity, and the book includes standout moments such as the 2023 coronation and family portraits for the King’s 70th birthday.
