How Cecil Beaton Became the Royal Family's Favorite Photographer

I honestly believe that the Wales family need to hire a professional photographer even on occasions such as Mother's Day. In the past, Cecil Beaton, Lord Snowden, and Annie Leibovitz were used in this capacity.

Annie Liebowitz was appointed to photograph the Queen and as a result we have iconic images of Her Majesty.

I personally think professional photographs are necessary for the royal family when they are submitting pictures to the public. Princess Catherine is a wonderful person and I'm sure a very talented amateur photographer. However, they are historical people, and it is not too difficult to find a professional photographer who could relay the image they are looking for.

Some years ago a lady brought to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh a trout covered with a fine coat of white fur. It was pleasingly mounted on a wooden shield and was labelled as follows:

FUR BEARING TROUT Very Rare Caught while trolling in Lake Superior off Gros Cap, Near Sault Ste. Marie, district of Algoma. It is believed that the great depth and the extreme penetrating coldness of the water in which these fish live has caused them to grow their dense coat of (usually) white fur. Mounted by ROSS C. JOBE, Taxidermist of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.

Visiting the museum to find out more about her unique fish, the lady was told that it was undoubtedly a trout (either brown or brook) and that its fine white coat was undoubtedly from a rabbit, whereupon she immediately presented the fish to the museum. She had bought this fake in good faith which indicates that the idea of a fur-bearing trout did not seem outlandish to her.

―Stanley Peter Dance, Animal Fakes & Frauds, 1976
