Little Prince Louis has turned royal photographer!
Kensington Palace has issued an adorable new picture taken by the six-year-old of his mother, the Princess of Wales, at Windsor to mark World Cancer Day tomorrow.
A second image taken by the princess herself was also issued.
It was accompanied by a personal message from Kate, reading: ‘Don’t forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease. C #WorldCancerDay’
A royal aide emphasised that spending time in nature has been extremely important to the Princess over the past year as she underwent her own cancer journey, which is reflected in both images.
She is currently in remission from the disease.
The image taken by Louis shows Kate smiling joyfully, her arms outstretched during a walk in the woods over the winter.
She is wearing a peaked hat, scarf, overcoat and mittens with grey jeans tucked into knee-length boots.
Frost covers the ferns and sunlight peaks through the bare trees.
The second image, taken by Kate, is a close up of the ferns with her own personal message.
In July the Princess issued a statement in which she talked about ‘healing power’ of nature, emphasising the strength she has taken from the outdoors world.
In September, sources close to Kate also talked about how she ‘has drawn strength from her family and loved ones and from spending time on things which bring her joy.’
They said these elements, plus ‘the sanctuary she has found in the natural world’ were all strongly represented in an astonishingly intimate video also released of the Princess with her family in Norfolk.
