Photographer Hugo Burnand is rumoured to have been chosen to take Prince William and Kate Middleton’s official wedding pictures.
The coveted commission appears to have been given to the man who was the official photographer at the wedding of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005.
During his career, Mr Burnand has photographed Michael Jackson, painter Lucian Freud, former prime minister Lady Thatcher and businessman John Magnier.
But it may have been his work with the Royal Family that has earned him one of the most important jobs on any wedding day.
Charles asked Mr Burnand to take the birthday image that marked his 60th year in 2008.
In the picture the heir to the throne wore the ceremonial uniform of the Welsh Guards but was shown in a very relaxed seated pose with his arm across the back of an ornate chair.
Mr Burnand has also taken pictures of William and Prince Harry and the Queen.
The royal wedding is being held at Westminster Abbey and it is likely the photographer will capture the image of William, his new wife and senior guests after the ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
When Mr Burnand, 47, photographed Charles and Camilla following their wedding ceremony, the smiling newlyweds were flanked by their respective families in one of Windsor Castle’s lavish rooms.
