A dozen snapshots of royal family life, captured by Kate Middleton

Prince William leans on a rock and looks to the distance. Snow-capped mountaintops can be seen behind him.

Catherine, Princess of Wales is no stranger to getting behind the camera.

She’s become known for snapping — and sharing — rare insights of the royal family at home and abroad over the years.

The tradition began in 2015 when the royal family released portraits the Princess of Wales had taken of Princess Charlotte.

Catherine, who is commonly referred to as Kate, issued an apology earlier this year for causing confusion after releasing a manipulated photo taken by her husband, Prince William.

But the incident hasn’t deterred her from continuing to share her snaps with the public.

The latest addition to her portfolio came overnight, marking her husband, Prince William’s birthday.

Royal fans were treated to another of Kate’s photos earlier this week as the UK celebrated Father’s Day.
