Princess Kate is gradually resuming her royal responsibilities following her cancer treatment, with her most recent engagements reflecting her deep-seated passion for photography. This interest was kindled during her university days at St. Andrews, where she studied History of Art and wrote a dissertation on photography. Her dedication to the craft has not only been personal but also professional, as she was appointed the royal patron of The National Portrait Gallery in 2012 and became an honorary member of the Royal Photographic Society in 2017.
In a continuation of her photographic endeavors, Princess Kate took a notable portrait of Queen Camilla for Country Life magazine in 2022. Queen Camilla praised Kate's skill, stating:
"She's an extremely good photographer and it was all very casual, there wasn't much hair and make-up – it was just done in the garden with a lot of laughs – it was a lovely way of doing it." – Queen Camilla
After her cancer treatment at Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, Princess Kate announced that she is now in remission. Reflecting on her journey, she shared:
"It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal." – Princess Kate
Despite her health challenges, Princess Kate has been actively engaged in her royal duties, completing three engagements last week. She has also taken on the role of capturing the official portraits of her children: George, Charlotte, and Louis. Her passion for photography has evidently inspired her youngest son, Prince Louis, who demonstrated his budding talent in a heartwarming photo shared just before World Cancer Day. The image depicted Prince Louis with arms outstretched on a wintry day.
The picture, alongside another image taken by Princess Kate showing frosted fern branches at Windsor, was posted on her official Instagram account. The post was signed with a "C," accompanied by a camera emoji and the words "Prince Louis," showcasing the young prince's burgeoning interest in photography.
Princess Kate's message emphasized the importance of cherishing life beyond illness:
"Don't forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease." – Princess Kate
