Catching a real-life glimpse of the royals is a rare anomaly for many, but for renowned photographer Tim Rooke, it's all in a days work. Indeed, the talented photographer has been front and centre of some of the royal family's biggest milestone events over the years - and with that kind of experience, you'd be hard pressed not to have some incredibly rare inside knowledge on the UK's most prestigious family.After becoming the official royal photographer for Rex by Shutterstock in 1990, Rooke has travelled to over 110 countries and captured some of their most historical moments in the process. From Princess Diana's final weeks, to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement shoot - it would be safe to say he's seen it all. Now, as a very exciting instalment looms for the house of Windsor (read: Baby Sussex), Tim has shared his thoughts on Meghan and Harry's choice to depart from the traditional hospital photo call, and its significance in marking a new chapter for the royals.Proving his knowledge of Meghan and Harry is next to nothing, he's also noted some key differences in photographing the Sussexes in comparison to their royal counterparts Prince William and Duchess Catherine - and what he has revealed might surprise you. Keep scrolling as we speak exclusively to Tim on his wealth of royal knowledge - from Royal Babys right back to Diana.

"We don't often see Prince William and the Duchess holding hands, but the Sussexes do it if cameras are there or not."The passionate photographer followed Harry and Meghan on their whirlwind tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga in 2018, where they seamlessly interacted with various people from all walks of life."It was great to see them interact with each other so lovingly. They're such an authentic couple and every time I photograph them you can sense the love and affection they have for each other," he explained.On the royal baby's official photo debutWith Baby Sussex due to arrive any day now, royal fans were initially caught by surprise after learning that the Sussexes were choosing to depart from the official hospital photo call tradition, as had been the case for Diana and Kate in previous years.
