Kate Middleton admits she can’t keep kids still for photos as she launches Hold Still By Robert Jobson Special Royal Correspondent The Duchess of Cambridge is an avid amateur photographer whose pictures of her family have appeared all around the world. However, even she has revealed the problems faced by any family snapper - keeping the children under control. During a visit to the National Portrait Gallery she was shown one of the earliest family photographs in the gallery’s collection, one showing the inventor Sir Charles Wheatstone and his family from 1851. After seeing the daguerreotype the Duchess exclaimed: “I just don’t know how they kept the children still!”
The Duchess of Cambridge has hailed the “power of photography” as she launched the book of her landmark project to capture images of life under lockdown. Kate said the 100 photographs taken by the public and featured in Hold Still: A Portrait Of Our Nation In 2020, left her feeling she had “lived through the experience” of the people in the pictures. In a touching gesture she played fairy godmother to readers in the capital and left a copy of her book in Kensington Palace gardens to be found – one of 150 “hidden” by Hold Still judges and photographers across the country. The duchess launched her Hold Still project in May last year with the National Portrait Gallery to encourage the public to pick up a camera or smartphone and capture the “spirit of the nation” during the pandemic.
