The first photo of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with Prince Harry and his fiancée Meghan Markle, is a perfectly timed shot snapped by a mother on her iPhone. The woman managed to capture the 'best' of the historic moment among thousands of people and paparazzi, and posted it on Twitter. The next day the photo appeared on the front pages of nearly every major newspaper in England, Australia and the USA, according to The Telegraph.
There was a sea of people clicking pictures of Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle, as they walked by for Christmas Day service at Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate. Karen Murdoch, 39-year-old single British mother who was ready with her iPhone, grabbed attention of the fabulous four as she wished them a quick 'Merry Christmas' and captured them in the most candid frame. The image shows all four relaxed and happy, with the Duchess and Prince Harry both looking directly at the camera.
The Sun's royal photographer, Arthur Edwards, was quoted in WMagazine, "We had around 20 best photographers in the country there, and she's scooped us all." Murdoch's photo was praised by thousands on Twitter and in no time the photo went viral. The picture may get Murdoch, who works at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, thousands of pounds which she plans to spend on her 17-year-old daughter Rachel's university expenses.
