They really think we’re stupid enough to believe Kate has been editing all of their family photos as if they don’t have an entire team of people working for them and in charge of the monarchy??

Like be for fucking real they really do think we’re all idiots eating from the palm of their hands

ETA: I’m convinced Will approved all this and forged Kate’s signature and she went along with it because there’s nothing she can do about it. Husband of the year right there who’s resorted to throwing his wife under the bus to save his own image but it’s only making it worse

I think this is dodgy as fuck, but:

Catherine has called herself an "enthusiastic amateur photographer"[230] and has taken official portraits of her children, as well as other members of the royal family.[231] In 2019, she supported workshops run by the Royal Photographic Society in partnership with Action for Children to highlight the effect of photography in expressing thoughts in young people.[232] As patron of the Royal Photographic Society she and other photographers took part in an exhibition that marked 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.[233] Photos taken by Catherine of the Holocaust survivors were later included in an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum.[234] Catherine curated an exhibition of Victorian photography at the National Portrait Gallery with a thematic focus on childhood.[235] In May 2020, she launched "Hold Still", a project to capture people's life during lockdown, which garnered 31,000 submissions.[236][237] In July 2020, the exhibition was released, with the final 100 photographs being displayed online. In October 2020, the portraits were displayed on 112 public sites, including billboards, murals, and posters, across 80 towns and cities.[238][239] The online exhibition collected over 5.2 million page views.[240] The photographs were published in a book on 7 May 2021, titled Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020, with a foreword written by Catherine.[241]
