The resulting photograph of the snoozing, bare-footed British premier asleep on a four-poster bed in the background of a shot of the impeccably made-up bride-to-be Alice Sheffield was splashed across the British press on Friday. [break]
"Who´s that chillaxing on the four-poster?" asked a caption on The Times´s front-page picture, poking fun at Cameron´s reputation for regularly taking time out.
The photograph was taken on September 7 at the wedding near York in northern England of 32-year-old Sheffield, the half-sister of Cameron´s wife Samantha.
Cameron had just returned from the G20 summit in St Petersburg.
The picture was posted on the Instagram page of Emily Sheffield, Samantha Cameron´s younger sister and deputy editor of British Vogue magazine, but was reportedly removed late Thursday.
Alice Sheffield, who runs a small cosmetics company, married Etienne Cadestin, a 27-year-old French "sustainability and energy consultant" for an upmarket estate agent.
The photograph emerged just weeks after an apparently sunburned prime minister was photographed on a beach in Cornwall changing out of his swimming trunks with just a Mickey Mouse towel to protect his modesty.
Cameron has often been accused of "chillaxing" -- a combination of relaxing and chilling out -- after he revealed he enjoys four glasses of wine on a Sunday and plays tennis against a machine he nicknamed "the Clegger" after Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
His ability to separate his private life from his professional duties is held up as a rare talent by his supporters, but others see it as complacency.
