During her recent interview and photo shoot for her cover story with Vogue U.K., Kate Middleton revealed that she has taken on the role as the family’s unofficial photographer after asking paparazzi to back off snapping shots of her little ones. The Duchess prefers to take pictures on her own terms and share them with the public as she and her husband, Prince William, see fit.

The Duchess has, in doing so, reportedly gained the praise of Queen Elizabeth, who has commented on the skills of her grandson’s wife. The Queen’s portrait photographer, Hugo Rittson Thomas, has also had a chance to learn more about Kate as well as her photography skills, and he shared this fact with People.

‘”I was quite taken aback by her knowledge of photography. She asked a lot of technical questions about what I was doing and the set up — she almost caught me out a few times actually,’ said the lensman. Rittson Thomas. He was speaking in an interview with People about an encounter with Kate in 2012 during a photo session of her husband Prince William.”

In discussing Middleton’s photos of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Rittson Thomas was all about praising the 34-year-old beauty. He noted that the Duchess’ photos “were wonderful” and “beautifully shot.” In addition, he added that through her own camera, she “captured the joy, happiness and youth of her children which is a wonderful thing and sometimes hard to do as a parent.”

The praise did not end there for Kate Middleton’s skills. Rittson Thomas went so far to say that had Middleton not married into royalty, she could have easily found a career and stability via her love of photography.

There’s no question that in being a royal, the Duchess is kept extremely busy. Her photography has been noted by the young royal as being more of a hobby and for enjoyment. Kate Middleton finds her days filled very fast with her two little ones taking up her time and being required to carry out a multitude of duties for the royals. As of late, due to her thin frame and somewhat worn appearance, rumors have begun to swirl that Middleton has an eating disorder.

The rumors link Kate Middleton and her supposed new pal Angelina Jolie, noting that Kate is perhaps learning the habits of the Hollywood actress. The Parent Herald shares the claims that are being made about the Duchess and her A-list celebrity pal.

“Rumor mill is spreading that Kate Middleton has an eating disorder just like the wife of Brad Pitt. It has been previously reported that the wife of Prince William and Angelina Jolie are currently developing a deep friendship after they met in a charity event. However, it seems like Angelina Jolie already influenced the wife of Prince William in terms of diet as sources inside the palace say that Kate Middleton looked thinner than ever. As most fans know, Kate Middleton is fond of maintaining her slim figure.”

Rumors aside, it is a known fact that Kate Middleton has always maintained a slim frame and eaten healthily, much like her younger sister, Pippa Middleton. Therefore, the rumors are likely untrue, and Middleton’s slim and tired appearance are clearly simply the product of being a busy mom and one who watches what she eats.

As the Inquisitr recently reported, Kate’s diet and exercise regimen is not extreme. She eats a low-carb diet and juices while enjoying cardio exercises and various yoga workouts. The Duchess lost 29 pounds less than two months after giving birth to Prince George.
