Cover girl: An intimate portrait of the Queen appears in Vanity Fair Credit: Annie Leibovitz/Vanity Fair
The picture is being published on the cover of the latest edition of Vanity Fair on Friday, to mark Her Majesty’s 90th birthday.
Sitting with the Queen are her two corgis, Holly and Willow, along with Vulcan and Candy, her two ‘dorgis’. This is the crossbreed the Queen developed when one of her corgis mated with a dachshund that belonged to her sister, Princess Margaret.
“I was told how relaxed she was at Windsor, and it was really true. You get the sense of how at peace she was with herself, and very much enthralled with her family.”
