For nearly two decades, Jackson has held a singular position: Getty Images' most trusted lens on the British monarchy. In Modern Majesty, he offers a compelling and beautifully curated portrait of a royal family reinventing itself in the twenty-first century. From King Charles III's historic accession and the growing roles of the Prince and Princess of Wales, to poignant family moments and wide-ranging public duties, Jackson captures the intimate and iconic moments that define this new royal era. Featuring exclusive photographs-many never before published-and compelling behind-the-scenes commentary, Modern Majesty illuminates the balance between tradition and transformation. Whether photographing historic state occasions, tender private gatherings, diplomatic visits, or charity initiatives, Jackson brings warmth, dignity, and insight to every image. His work is the product of more than twenty years embedded within royal life, marked by trust, access, and a rare eye for authenticity. Timely, elegant, and revealing, Modern Majesty is more than a photo book-it's a visual narrative of a monarchy adapting to modern expectations while holding fast to its enduring values. This new volume is Jackson's most personal and evocative work to date-and a must-have testament to the enduring resonance of the British royal family today.
