Your iPad Pro is already using landscape ( horizontal )orientation with the Magic keyboard.

You must mean portrait orientation ( vertical ).

It is not just the camera, but where the magnetic pins are located to make the Magic keyboard work.

These pins do not line up if the iPad is in placed in portrait orientation.

I really appreciate the reply! The pics (to me) appeared to be in portrait! I can now buy the iPad Pro and use it for movies and work using the Magic Keyboard! Again, thank you!
