Secret reason Kate Middleton takes her own photos of the Cambridge kids George, Charlotte and Louis
When Princess Kate shared a heartwarming new photo of her eldest son Prince George to mark his birthday, the image received a flurry of praise from fans everywhere
Princess Kate usually takes her own photographs of her family – including Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – to help keep the paparazzi at a distance, an expert said.
Princess of Wales, 42, has over the years snapped images of her children to mark milestones, such as birthdays, and ffans have praised her work. She has a keen interest in photography anyway but royal commentators believe Kate deliberately often does her family’s imagery.
Camilla Tominey, the Telegraph’s Royal editor, has previously said: “The paparazzi – there’s no market anymore because the Duchess comes out with her own family photos and they’re far more valuable to the press than images taken at a long lense.
“That’s how The Cambridges (as they were then known) are going to strike the balance, they’re going to give in order to receive a degree of privacy back.

“Why would any newspapers or magazines want to run grainy long-lens images of the royals in private when they themselves are willing to serve up crystal clear Instagram-style shots?”

According to the Express, she continued: “Of course there still is, and always will be, a place for experienced lensmen and women to capture the big royal moments. However, it has always been these more candid camera shots that the public has craved.
“When it comes to seeing the ‘real’ royals behind their public personas, the Duchess is fast becoming the monarchy’s leading chronicler of modern royal life.”
Kate took an adorable snap of Prince George perched on a Land Rover back in 2021, which was seen as a touching tribute to his late great-grandfather Prince Philip who had a fondness for the vehicle.
Kate shared heartfelt snaps for Charlotte and Louis’s birthdays in April and May respectively that same year. One picture captured Louis looking lively as he sat on a red children’s bike poised for his first day at nursery school.
A photograph of young George stirred up a wave of adoration on social media, with numerous fans noting his growing resemblance to his father, Prince William.
A fan exclaimed: “Happy birthday Prince George, looks more and more like his dad…delighted the Duke and Duchess released this beautiful photo despite the nasty trolling after the Euro Final, remember there is much more love than hate in the world x.”
Another admirer effused: “I love how he is becoming his own self. He resembles his father more in this photo but has his mother’s eyes. He is such a blessing.”
Joining in, another contributor remarked: “Awww Looks handsome and like his father.” Light-heartedly, another quipped: “Will dat u? ” attaching two photos comparing a young Prince William’s cheerful grin to George’s.
