The Duchess told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, “Well I am very much an amateur photographer.
"I’ve sort of learned along the way but during this time I've spent lots of time picking up my camera and taking photographs of the children because they are always around us when we are doing stuff together, which has been great."
What was Kate Middleton's 2020 photography project?
In 2020, Kate Middleton also launched her Hold Still community project, with one of her patronages, the National Portrait Gallery.
This photography project (opens in new tab) saw Brits submit photographic portraits of their lockdown experience (opens in new tab).
The Duchess is reported as having been hands-on with the project, helping to select 100 entries with a panel of judges.
A collage of the 100 final portraits was later shared on the Kensington Royal Instagram account. The caption shared that, ‘The images present a unique record of our shared and individual experiences during this extraordinary period of history, conveying humour and grief, creativity and kindness, tragedy and hope’.
We can’t wait to see what photographs Kate Middleton will take throughout 2021.
