• He captured a behind-the-scenes view of the king and queen from the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Getty Images royal photographer Chris Jackson captured a "never-before-seen angle" of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on the balcony of Buckingham Palace following their coronation on Saturday, he told Insider.

While other photographers covered the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey and the procession through the streets of London, Jackson was stationed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. As the king and queen walked onto the balcony to greet the crowds, he stood behind them to photograph a behind-the-scenes view of the moment.

"I'm not sure why it hasn't been done before," Jackson said of documenting the king and queen's perspective from this angle. "It was never done with the previous Queen, so it was a new thing, which was lovely to be a part of."

He also shared the photograph on Instagram, where he called it a "never seen before angle."

Jackson said he was "a little bit nervous" about getting the photo right, but he was happy with the result.

"It was a huge privilege to have that position, take that photograph, and from a personal perspective, just an incredible moment to hear the roar of the crowd and see them from that incredibly privileged vantage point," he said.

Jackson also captured the moment that the Royal Air Force's Red Arrow planes flew over the palace, streaming the red, white, and blue colors of the Union Jack.

"I chose to do a lower perspective for when the Red Arrows came over because I'd always imagined that kind of iconic shot with the planes flying towards them with their crowns visible," he said. "It kind of encompasses all elements of the story. And you've got the famous Queen Victoria Memorial statue in that photo as well, the gold element of that. I was really glad that it all came together on the day."

Jackson has spent the last 20 years photographing royal family members and published three photography books featuring his images of the royals: "Elizabeth II: A Queen for Our Time," "Modern Monarchy," and "Charles III: A King and His Queen."
