Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Other Royal Kids ‘Don’t Always Play by the Rules,’ Photographers Say

usmagazine.com:

Candid camera! Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and more royal kids have been taught the highest standards of decorum, but even they have unscripted moments in public, which are sometimes captured by royal photographers Samir and Zak Hussein.“You have that unknown element,” Samir exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, January 31, while discussing the Princess Diana Accredited Access Exhibition. “It doesn’t matter whether they’re royal kids or any kids, and they could throw a tantrum at any time or they could just do something funny, like stick out their tongue.

They don’t always play by the rules. So, I love photographing kids ‘cause you don’t really know [what] you’re gonna get, and more often than not you get these special moments.”Samir acknowledged that the process can be “challenging,” but the end product makes up for it. “As a royal photographer [and with] photographing kids in general, you’ve got to be ready because this [could] be a really fleeting moment, but it also produces some of the most fun moments and best pictures,” he explained.Zak agreed with his brother that impromptu breaks from the royal norm make for the best snaps.“It’s a really nice moment when you don’t realize you’ve got a picture, and you download the card and you’re going through them and then you suddenly come across a picture that you didn’t even realize you were taking.

That’s pretty satisfying when you come across a picture like that,” he told Us. “You don’t know what’s gonna happen. These jobs, anything can happen in a split second, and you’ve gotta be ready to take it.”One such moment occurred in August 2019 when Charlotte, now 6, stuck her tongue out while attending The King’s Cup regatta with her mom, Duchess Kate.“Anoth
