THE QUEEN smiles cheekily in a previously unseen portrait that’s been unveiled for her milestone Platinum Jubilee.
In the stunning new image taken 19 years ago, Her Majesty – photographed by Rob Munday – is seen smiling wryly to the camera.
The photograph, entitled Platinum Queen: Felicity, went unnoticed in Munday’s Royal archives until he rediscovered it last summer.
It shows the Queen reacting to a mischievous aside from her confidante and senior dresser Angela Kelly as the pair prepared for the shoot at Buckingham Palace.
Mr Munday said: “The Queen’s daily life is so full of responsibility and duty that it was wonderful to see this fleeting moment of relaxation and pleasure.
“It is an uplifting portrait, so different from many of the more sombre portraits commissioned in recent years and a befitting celebration for her Platinum Jubilee.”
