And now royal experts Roberta Fiorito and Rachel Bowie have opened up about a particular image that they found “heartbreaking”.
Speaking of Duchess Kate on the Royally Obsessed podcast Rachel said, "She really talks in the interview about the range of shots, it could be as simple as a shot in your living room, you can do all of this while social distancing.
"She is also shared a few of her favourites to inspire people and I love the photo of the palm to the glass.
"It is a photo of a couple of grandkids social distancing with their great-grandparents.
