«Breaking News» Mother who snapped THAT photo of the 'fab four' at Sandringham reveals she's earned £40,000

The single mother who took the now-famous photo of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan on Christmas Day revealed she has made £40,000 from the snap. 

Karen Anvil, 40, was one of hundreds who braved the cold to get a glimpse of the royal family as they walked to St Mary Magdalene Church, on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk on 25 December last year.

After screaming to attract attention, Ms Anvil, who had two jobs at the time, snapped a candid picture of the 'fab four' that was quickly distributed to publications around the world. 

Over the last year, royalties have brought Ms Anvil a regular monthly income of between £600 and £6,000 - and she said she's earned enough money to clear her debts, take a year off work and 'do up' her council house.

Describing the experience as 'like a lottery win', Ms Anvil, of Norfolk, told the BBC: 'The biggest change for me was that it was so nice to go shopping at Tesco and not be worried about whether I've got the cash in the bank.'

One of the first purchases she made was a bed, having slept on a mattress on the floor for 18 months.  

Ms Anvil had been waiting outside the church with daughter Rachel in the hope of catching a glimpse of the royals on their way in.   

Photographers from around the world jostled for position to capture a photo of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with the then newly engaged Harry and Meghan - but it was Ms Anvil who trumped them all. 

By 'screaming like a fan girl', Ms Anvil was able to draw looks from both Kate, 36, and Harry, 34, who are both smiling staring straight at her lens in the shot.

Meanwhile William, 36, and Meghan, 37, are striding ahead with broad smiles on their faces. 

She uploaded the photo and by 5pm that day it had gone viral. It has since been sold to publications in countries around the world, with requests from Japan, the US, Canada, Spain and Italy all coming through. 

In a tweet earlier this year, Ms Anvil told how she had spoken to Prince Harry about the photo when she met the royal during a walkabout in Birmingham. 

She wrote: 'Got to speak to Meghan today! Also shook Prince Harry's hand and asked him if he liked the Xmas photo! He said he hoped I made lots of money from it! I'm absolutely buzzing!'

The proud mother previously said some of the money will go towards her daughter's education.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
