The "Nerve-Racking" Meeting King Charles's Cousin Had With Princess Diana

One of King Charles's relatives is reflecting on an unexpected interaction she had with Princess Diana, and the couple's two sons, Prince Harry and Prince William.

India Hicks, who is King Charles's second cousin and counts him as her godfather, told Hello! magazine, "For a while I wanted to be a photographer. I came out of photography school quite young and inexperienced, and [Charles] wrote me and asked if I would like to be the photographer for his Christmas card one year." She continued, "So, I went to [Charles's country home] Highgrove and photographed him and Diana and the boys, which was quite nerve-racking. Firstly, what a risk, because I could have been a complete idiot with a camera. And secondly, just how nice and thoughtful."
