A 'Royal Connection'

Did you know there used to be a 'Royal'member of the Pentax Club ? When Peter and Liz Cox used to run it Princess Anne used to get a copy of the magazine sent to Buckingham Palace ! I remember seeing HRH on 'Blue Peter' with the famous woman presenter ( whose name escapes me ) on safari in Africa both together laying down poking Pentax Spotmatics with identical ( perhaps HRH had a Gold Plated one ) 200mm SMC f4 Takumars over a log to photograph some ( probably sedated)animals.

Lesley Judd?

And I vaguely remember watching that as a kid but the significance of the camera being a Pentax would have been lost on me - at that time my Dad was a staunch Rollei-ist and my own camera was a Kodak...

Valerie Singleton. Apparently it was the "The Blue Peter Royal Safari" in 1971.

Couldn't find any pictures though.
