THE Queen Mother was criticised for 'looking sloppy' and appearing 'horrid in photographs' by renowned photographer Cecil Beaton – the man made famous by the photographs he took of the Royal Family following the scandalous abdication, a biography has revealed.
Cecil Beaton’s photographs of the Royal Family in the 20th century from the Thirties to the Sixties were essential to the shaping of the monarchy’s public image following Edward VIII's abdication in 1936. When Princess Olga of Yugoslavia had been photographed by Cecil Beaton in 1939, she showed the results to Queen Elizabeth and “encouraged her to send for Beaton”.
