A new portrait of the Queen commissioned to mark her Platinum Jubilee has been unveiled for the first time.
Visible in the background of the shot? The castle’s famous quadrangle, with the Round Tower rising above it; the latter monument’s foundations were laid in 1170.
Mackechnie has photographed the Queen on two previous occasions alongside the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and Prince George. The first portraits were released to coincide with Her Majesty’s 90th birthday in 2016, while the second batch were dropped in 2020 to mark the beginning of a fresh decade.
Along with the picture itself, the Queen delivered a message of thanks to those honouring her 70-year reign. “Thank you to everyone who has been involved in convening communities, families, neighbours and friends to mark my Platinum Jubilee, in the United Kingdom and across the Commonwealth. I know that many happy memories will be created at these festive occasions.
