Annie Leibowitz

On Wednesday, the BBC showed to the press footages of the Queen where she apparently walked off from a photo shoot with photographer Annie Leibovitz. A "media storm" ensued when it was revealed that the editing of the film was misguiding. The footage is part of the documentary A Year With The Queen, which will be shown later this year.

Annie Leibowitz is one of the world's most famous photographers, specialising in celebrity portraiture. She was also the long-term lover of writer, essayist and poet Susan Sontag.
