Kate Middleton has been given royal photographer's stamp of approval for her work behind the lens.
The Royal Rota podcast by ITV reported how Arthur Edwards had given the Duchess of Cambridge glowing feedback on Kate's own work behind the camera.
Edwards said: "I'm a great admirer of Kate's photography, she's grasped it very quickly."
The Duchess of Cambridge is often credited for birthday portraits of her three children Prince George 7, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3 plus other family moments. But one shot in particular really impressed Edwards.
"The picture that I love most that she's done is William and the three children on the swing," he said about the photo shared in June 2020 to celebrate Prince William's 38th birthday.
"I would have killed to have taken that picture."

He added to People.com : "Everybody's laughing at their mum, and you know that only a mother or a father could get that picture, and it's an absolute winner.
"Charlotte with her arm around daddy, you know, 'daddy's girl.' It's a lovely picture, I was so full of praise for her on that."
The royal photographer, who has snapped the royal family since the 1970s, also praised Kate, 39, for the 2020 project where she took pictures of Holocaust survivors with their grandchildren.
Kate, is a keen amateur photographer, launched the recent 'Hold Still' initiative during lockdown.
She asked members of the public to submit their images which captured the period for a digital exhibition.
She was joined by a panel of five judges who selected the best photos from more than 31,000 submitted for the nation-wide contest.
Kate said she was "overwhelmed" by the response and that it was 'so hard' to whittle the images down to a top 100.
During a clip shared ob video sharing site YouTube, she said: "It's such a pleasure to chat to you too.
"I wanted to call to say thank you so much for sending in your wonderful photograph.
"It's fantastic! You look like you're seriously enjoying your chicken and rice, Gimba?"
