The 5th Earl


Patrick Lichfield, the photographer of the image of Talitha Getty, from an earlier post, was actually
Thomas Patrick John Anson, 5th Earl of Lichfield. He was related to the Queen of England, and with access to the royal family, became one of the best known British photographers. He took the wedding photos of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, as well as the Golden Jubilee photos of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. The above photo by Slim Aarons from 1968, shows Lord Lichfield on the Italian Riviera flanked by Pucci-clad Italian princesses.
