October 2018. Princess Eugenie marries at Windsor, and after the ceremony the photographer herds the family into the Green Drawing Room for the official portraits, and that is where it happens.
Two people stand inside the same frame for the first time since 1992. One of them: Prince Philip. The other: Sarah Ferguson.
Twenty-six years. That measures the gap since these two last shared a single photograph.
Sit with that number for a second, because it genuinely unsettles. Same family. Same Windsor estate, where both spent huge chunks of the year.
Grandfather-in-law on one side, the mother of his two granddaughters on the other. For a quarter of a century the royal household ran a quiet, daily, almost military operation across the grounds of Windsor toward one purpose only: keeping the Duke of Edinburgh from ever laying eyes on her.
