Princess Kate, 40, has been criticised by a royal photographer for taking her own photographs of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Royal photographer John Swannell, 76, even suggested the Princess is denying others the opportunity to enter the industry.
According to MailOnline, he said: “All the work I got with the royals really elevated my career; nowadays, someone like me just won’t have the chance.
“Those chances should be given to young English photographers.”
However, Mr Swannell also conceded that there were some benefits to the Duchess of Cambridge taking her own snaps.
He said: “In some ways, though, Kate is probably right to do it herself.

“She’s not a great photographer, but she just snaps away, and with kids it’s easier if you know them.”
Kate’s passion for photography has been on display before she joined the Royal Family in 2011, having produced her undergraduate thesis at St Andrews on photographs of children.
However, she became the first member of the Firm to take official photographs when she released pictures of newborn Charlotte in Prince George’s arms.
She has since released several other photographs, including snaps to mark Prince George’s ninth birthday.
“That’s how The Cambridges are going to strike the balance, they’re going to give in order to receive a degree of privacy back.”
She added: “George’s childhood will be very different from the royals who have gone before him.
“His generation is the digital generation and the challenges for the Cambridges as time goes on is how to manage public interest in their son with their own privacy.”
