High Fashion meets HRH

Vogue.com have just produced a gallery of Kate Moss' 27 (!) British Vogue covers accompanied by a snippet of an interview between Kate Moss and Philip Green where they recall that a recent visit to Buckingham Palace was a highlight for both of them. 'We were looking at the crown jewels. With Prince Edward,' Moss reveals. 'HRH! That's what I called him, HRH!'

The gallery also gives details explaining the photo of Moss with royal regalia which graced the cover of the December 2001 Royal issue: 'Since the magazine was launched in 1916, it has chronicled the reigns of four monarchs, two coronations, two silver jubilees, the funerals of two reigning kings and one abdication. Vogue was fortunate that its first star photographer, Cecil Beaton, was entranced by the House of Windsor – and even luckier, perhaps, that the admiration was mutual. This relationship paved the way for successive contemporary photographers to portray royalty in the spirit of the times.' 

A 24-page portfolio features images of the royal family, taken from the Vogue archives, by Beaton, Snowdon, David Bailey and Norman Parkinson.

An interesting combination of high fashion combining with royalty.
