3. The Queen's People
portraits by photographer Hugo Rittson Thomas

4. Photographer Hugo Rittson-Thomas has produced a striking
quadruple portrait of the Queen.
Using mirrors he was able to capture full-length images of the
Queen from the front, back and sides, creating a picture
reminiscent of Anthony van Dyck's famous triple portrait of
Charles II.
In her full-length portrait the Queen is wearing a burgundy
coloured dress, designed by her personal assistant and
adviser Angela Kelly, with the Waterloo badge of the Royal
Scots Dragoon Guards.
The photograph was taken at Windsor Castle during an event
to mark the 60th anniversary of her Colonelcy of the Royal
Scots Dragoon Guards in 2013.

6. The Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Cornwall
have also posed for the photographer and all the
images will be part of the exhibition The Queen's
People, featuring photographs of members of the
Royal Household and senior ceremonial figures in
their traditional uniforms.
Prince William, Colonel of the Irish Guards, was
photographed in 2012 when he and wife Catherina,
Duchess of Cambridge, joined the regiment to
celebrate St Patrick's Day. He was wearing his Irish
Guards frock coat for the occasion.

7. The Duchess of Cornwall's picture was taken earlier
in 2015 and she was photographed wearing formal
attire, designed by Bruce Oldfield, together with
family jewellery, on the day she gave a speech at the
Royal Academy of Arts at its annual dinner in
celebration of the institution's summer exhibition.
Mr Rittson-Thomas's project was inspired by 16th
and 17th century paintings of monarchs such as
Elizabeth I and her court, often painted against a
black or dark background which emphasised the rich
colours of the outfits worn.
The Queen's People exhibition will be held at Eleven
Gallery from August 19 to September 19.
