foto Mario Testino
Britain's Prince Harry was captured in fits of laughter in a picture released Monday to mark his 20th birthday this week. Taken by photographer Mario Testino, the picture shows Harry leaning forward with his face down, while his father Prince Charles and 22-year-old brother Prince William are facing the camera and smiling broadly.
A relaxed Charles, Britain's heir to the throne, sits between his sons with his arms over their shoulders in the black and white photograph, taken at Highgrove, his countryside home in Gloucestershire.
"They were not laughing at anything in particular," said Testino. "It's just the way they relate to each other. They seem to have a uniquely close father-son relationship."
The Sun tabloid was not impressed. It said the photo looked like a dodgy holiday snap and attached a quality control sticker, saying: to improve your pictures make sure subjects look at camera. Harry, second of Charles's two sons from his marriage to Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, turns 20 Wednesday.
Peruvian-born Testino became a household name following his portraits of Diana, and has worked with her sons and Charles several times. He took the official pictures for Harry's 18th birthday and William's 21st.

Wat The Sun verder zei: A poor quality picture. But it’s not all bad, Mario — you didn’t put your thumb over the lens.
