A true father-child relationship transcends beyond the constraints of arguments, disagreements, misunderstandings, and everything negative. Because it is love that not only empowers but drives them. And royal photographer Arthur Edwards just substantiated this statement as he recalled the two Prince, Harry, and William, grow up with their father in his new collection of pictures, Behind the Crown: My Life Photographing the Royal Family,

Despite the challenges and controversies that have surrounded the royal family in recent years, the bond between this father and his sons has remained unbreakable. From their shared love of philanthropy and dedication to public service to their mutual support and affection for one another, the relationship between King Charles and his sons is a shining example of the power of family and the enduring strength of love.

Even though people believe otherwise, Edwards acknowledged that he has always seen the now-king Charles having fun with his two sons. He has apparently seen them grow up in the arms and warmth of their father. “They were always teasing him, we call it ‘taking the mickey,’ “ he told People in an interview recalling one of the pictures he took while they went skiing and father Charles was hilariously tickling his elder son.

Speaking of skiing, it seems like the royal princes were obsessed with this sport. In the two pictures below, from their 1994 and 1997 skiing trip, Edwards portrayed how much Prince Charles and his sons enjoyed the sport.

The photographer further shared a snapshot of the three royals from their summer retreat to the Scottish Highlands in 1997. “The princes were inseparable, solid for one another. They looked so relaxed, having fun together,” he wrote of the pictures captured just two weeks before Princess Diana’s alarming death.
