Kate has long expressed her love for photography and takes the official photographs of her children to mark occasions such as their birthdays or first day at school.
Last year, the Duchess launched a community photography project, Hold Still, in which she asked the public to share images of their life in lockdown. The moving images have since been displayed at the National Portrait Gallery and have been compiled into a book.

"@savebutterflies are encouraging us all to count these incredible creatures because not only are they beautiful creatures to be around but they are also extremely important. Butterflies are vital parts of the ecosystem as both pollinators and components of the food chain.
"Hopefully you can beat last year's total, @savebutterflies."
The Cambridges are currently enjoying some quality time with Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, and three-year-old Prince Louis during the school holidays. HELLO! exclusively revealed that the family-of-five enjoyed a staycation on the Isles of Scilly for the second year running.
