A REDISCOVERED portrait of the Queen captures her with a twinkle in her eye, the artist said yesterday.
Rob Munday’s relaxed shot of the monarch was taken in 2004 and went unnoticed in his archives until last year.
It captures Her Majesty reacting to an unscripted and amusing comment made by her senior dresser Angela Kelly.
Kelly was last month given the Queen’s blessing to publish a book telling of HMS Bubble and Prince Philip’s death.
The enhanced image, Platinum Queen: Felicity, is being unveiled for the Jubilee.
Mr Munday said: “The Queen’s daily life is so full of responsibility and duty that it was wonderful to see this fleeting moment of relaxation and pleasure.

“It is an uplifting portrait, so different from many of the more sombre ones commissioned in recent years.”
The original was taken at a Buckingham Palace sitting for the first 3D hologram of the Queen.
Mr Munday’s exhibition Presence is at London’s Park Lane.
