Kate Middleton is an honorary member of the Royal Photographic Society!

From the Foggy Albion, news of the royal family came to us. For the New Year, the Duchess of Cambridge received a completely unexpected gift. She became a member of the authoritative organization of the Royal Photographic Society, joining eminent photographers and famous photo masters.

It turns out that Ms. Middleton, who received a diploma in art in her time, has been fascinated for a long time with photography. Moreover, Kate even violated the generally accepted traditions and independently made official portraits of her daughter Princess Charlotte. And at it it turned out so successfully that now in a press frequently place portraits of the future successors of a throne which were executed by their native mum. Until now, such a liberties did not allow any of the royal daughters-in-law. In order to make the so-called official portrait of the "royal child", court professional photographers were always invited.

Late recognition

Apparently, Kate went into the taste: in many social events it can be seen with a camera. You will not believe, but the most interesting photos of Prince George and his sister-in-law, who collect hundreds of enthusiastic responses, belong to the Duchess of Cambridge.

Apparently, the abilities of the wife of Prince William could not leave the masters of photography indifferent. These touching children's portraits of Kate Middleton and earned the title of honorary member of the Royal Photographic Society.

It is important to note that children's portraits are far from the first attempts by Kate to declare their creative abilities in public. At one time, she had already tried herself as a photo artist, taking pictures of wildlife and animals. The Duchess of Cambridge took a risk in 2012 to share with the public and critics a series of photographs from the island of Borneo, but they were met more than cool.

You are most likely interested in where the title "royal" came from in the name of this creative union. The fact is that it was founded by Queen Victoria in the distant 1853. The great-grandmother of Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Albert were the trustees of the photographic society, which allowed the community of photographers to obtain such a high status.
