Annie Leibovitz was invited to photograph Queen Elizabeth II twice, in 2007 and in 2017. “I understood that she believed in giving you free rein when you worked with her,” Leibovitz says.
twice, in 2007 and in 2016. She was the first American photographer to be asked by the royal family to do so, and considered it an honor—and an opportunity. As Leibovitz wrote in her 2008 book, “It was ok for me to be reverent. The British are conflicted about what they think of the monarch. If a British portraitist is reverent he’s perceived to be doting. I could do something traditional.”reverent, but the sitting that produced them didn’t go entirely to plan.
I never understood why the queen asked me to take her picture the first time. I found out when I went in for the second shoot 10 years later. I said, why did she ask me? And they said that I had asked. And actually IFor that first shoot, I wanted a straightforward, intelligent portrait. I thought that this would be my only chance to photograph the queen. I was allotted less than half an hour. They showed me catalogues of her clothes and jewelry and asked me to pick what she would wear.
And then, ten years later, we get this other call. I asked for Balmoral and they said no, Windsor. This time, she had ideas for the shoot. She wanted her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and Princess Anne and her corgis. Probably the most endearing sitting on that shoot with her was with the grandchildren. They were running around calling her “gran” or “granny.” It was chaotic and we asked if she would let Princess Charlotte sit on her lap.

Of course Iwanted to photograph her driving her Range Rover at Balmoral. It was so frustrating because I would see her driving around, right in front of me, at Windsor.
