William and Catherine’s Anniversary Photo

RockingGrandma

Definitely just you ..... My daughter died due to breast cancer at 38 leaving a husband and two small children, what I'd give for such a photo .... Makes no difference they're royals, it's a happy family photo.

So very sorry for your loss 💐

Wonder what the late Queen Elizabeth 2nd would have thought of it!

No idea why my post was deleted 🤷‍♀️

More likely saying ‘ aww Daaaaad, what if my mates see this photo’ 😁

George doesn't look too happy!

😆

He's entering the teenage zone.
He's listening to his dad's joke, and going, "You what?"

Yes, exactly.
😂

I love the photo - it makes me sad that my DS's marriage is not so successful!

I like the idea of a family photo at holiday times, but I don't think this is a good photo.
One for the family album but not general release. Running about on a beach or paddling would have been more to my interest with their dog rushing around.

I would like to hear what other professional photographers say about the composition.

They are newsworthy and many people want to hear and see photos of them.

They clearly have one photo session every holiday and then use those photos for all events until the next holiday. This set of snaps included the ones released for prince Louis's birthday. A clever mix of gaving the photos when needed without subjecting their children to endless photo calls.

Instantly reminded me of a Famous Five book cover ( which I'm sure was the photographers or Wales' intent) . Perhaps that should become their nickname , the Famous Five, in life and in wholesome adventurous spirit!

Taken by a photographer?

Personally I prefer to see proper formal photos. This is one for the family album.

Reminds me of the photos we used to see of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip having picnics or barbeques on the Scottish hills.

I think it’s a lovely relaxed, happy photo.

I really liked it - a happy thing on a miserable day. I did wonder how Princess Catherine had done it. Isnt't she their official photographer?

The photo was taken by someone else, not Catherine.

MartavTaurus - great minds ... 😂

Maybe William has just told him a 'dad joke!' 😂

Lovely happy family photo, far better than a ^set piece posed studio shot^

Agree, always look forward to seeing the lastest photo!

Happy family photo, all having fun, relaxing and enjoying one another's company. I love it 🥰.

Lovely to see them so happy and relaxed. They have had some very tough times as a family.

Lovely photo.

Beautiful family photo and how kind of them to share, just when we need a morale boost

I'm not sure my morale is boosted by seeing this.

I think it is a lovely photo of them all. So good that they let us see their children’s faces too.

They always have done, I really liked all the photos that Catherine took herself.
