On Feb. 3, the Princess of Walesshared a post on social mediaahead of World Cancer Day. A new photo of Princess Kate, 43, showed her standing outdoors with her arms spread out — with credit for the image going to her youngest child. Prince Louis, 6, snapped the picture of his mother in Windsor earlier this year.
The forest setting of the new picture reflects the importance of spending time in nature to Princess Kate. “I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental well-being,” she said in 2019.
Prince Louis isn’t the first member of the royal family to get behind the camera for a photo shared on an official social media page. Kate has had a longtime interest in photography, even calling herself an “enthusiastic amateur photographer” and serving as a patron of the Royal Photographic Society.
The Princess of Wales also oftencaptures milestones of her three children—Prince George, 11,Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis — such as their birthday portraits.
