The chef and those photos

The official photographs used to announce the engagement of Prince Charles and Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles, was taken by his long-serving organic chef, South African Carolyn Robb. The photos have become a source of dispute, with Miss Robb involved in talks concerning her copyright. The photos will also appear on commemorative stamps. Miss Robb helped develop new lines for Duchy Originals, the food brand set up by Prince Charles in 1992. She first worked for the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and graduated to Charles’s kitchens in 1989. She left her post in 2000 but still cooks for the prince on special occasions.
