A keen amateur photographer, the Duchess of Cambridge often shares her snaps of her children to mark some of their major life events, especially their birthdays. Kate’s charming images include portraits of a grinning Prince George as he turns six (far left), a confident four-yearo l d Princess Charlotte (left) and Prince Louis, captured at the family home in Norfolk on his first big day
For almost two centuries, Britain’s royals have been captured on camera by some of the most famous photographers in the world.
Now people have been invited to send in their own photos of the Queen and her family taken during walkabouts and official engagements to join the new Kensington Palace exhibition Life Through a Royal Lens, which begins in March.
Those chosen will see their work showcased alongside pictures from professionals including Annie Leibowitz, Rankin and Norman Parkinson.
