On Sunday, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s Instagram account posted a photo taken by Princess Kate with her husband. Prince William and the children Prince George (ten), Princess Charlotte (9), and Prince Louis (6).

Part of that speculation was fueled by a photo the couple shared on Mother’s Day in the UK, which falls three Sundays before Easter. After the image of Kate with three children was removed from distribution by major media over concerns that it had been altered, Middleton stepped forward to accept responsibility.
“Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with retouching,” the Princess wrote at the time. “I want to express my apologies for any confusion the family photo we shared yesterday caused.”
Kate Middleton may have sold herself short on the common usage of “amateur,” since she is so invested in her art that as of 2019, she has become an official Patron of the Royal Photographic SocietyAnd her family photos may have attracted more global attention than most experts.
Her latest work, which was posted on Sunday morning, depicting a much more idyllic scene than many of the images she has shared before. William and the children, all dressed in shorts and casual shirts, stood on the beach. They turned their backs to the camera, facing the water, wrapping their arms around each other’s backs. Kate, the photographer, seemed to be a few steps behind.
