The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has been criticized by a royal photographer for taking the official pictures of her children rather than allowing other professional photographers who could make their name doing it.
Did you know that quite a few members of the British royal family are passionate photographers? This past weekend, Prince William and Kate Middleton released a set of four portraits showing their two children. Rather than hire a photographer for the occasion, Kate, a photography enthusiast, shot the royal baby pictures herself.
Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, often referred to these days as Royal Baby George, had his first photo shoot recently. But if you expected the future British king to get his pick of professional photographers when it comes to his first official family portraits, you'd be wrong.
The photos -- which have been called everything from "intimate" and "cozy" to "not really what you want" and "just bad" -- were actually taken by the Duchess of Cambridge's father, Michael Middleton.
