Prince Harry and Meghan Markle\u2019s wedding day behind-the-scenes moments are making headlines again and this time thanks to their photographer Alexi Lubomirski, who shared a funny story on TikTok to mark their seven-year anniversary. <\/p>\n

Lubomirski revealed how the late Queen Elizabeth\u2019s sharp wit helped ease the tension during the high-pressure photo shoot at St George\u2019s Chapel. The wedding was watched by nearly two billion people worldwide, and nerves were running high as crowds lined the streets of Windsor. <\/p>\n

The Sussexes had asked Lubomirski to shoot their wedding photos after he had done their engagement pictures. Nervous about impressing the royal family, he even asked Harry for advice. Harry told him, \u201cMy grandparents have taken so many pictures, it\u2019s not their fun part. If you don\u2019t get it quickly, they\u2019re just going to move out.” <\/p>\n

And Harry was right. Lubomirski was still setting up when the Queen and Prince Philip arrived early. Apologizing, he said, \u201cI\u2019m terribly sorry Your Majesty, we\u2019re going to be about five minutes.” <\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s dry reply? \u201cIt\u2019s not me you need to worry about.” She was, of course, referring to Philip. <\/p>\n

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward once described the Queen as \u201ca master of understatement delivered in her best deadpan voice”.<\/p>\n

As reported by the UK newspaper Daily Mail, the photographer described Prince Philip as \u2018a very witty man\u2019 with a \u2018sense of mischief.\u2019<\/p>\n

But the late Queen Elizabeth was known to be less patient.<\/p>\n

American photographer Annie Leibovitz revealed in the BBC documentary A Year with the Queen that the monarch was not always an easy subject to photograph.<\/p>\n

In March 2007, Leibovitz had planned to shoot the Queen at Windsor Castle, hoping to capture her riding one of her many horses.<\/p>\n

Instead, she was given only 25 minutes at Buckingham Palace. The Queen arrived late and was reportedly \u2018perturbed,\u2019 telling the photographer, \u201cI don\u2019t have much time.”<\/p>\n
