The Queen's People

If there’s one thing to be sure of on Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday today, it’s that she’ll hardly be lacking in well wishes. “The Queen’s People,” out next month from Assouline, is the photographer Hugo Rittson Thomas’s glimpse at the Queen and those who hold court alongside her at Buckingham Palace in their full ceremonial regalia, scepter accessories and all. With contributions from the Earl Marshal, His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and the Garter Principal King of Arms, the tome clocks in at a royal $845. Meet the full deck here.
