Kensington Palace have released a new photo of William and the children to mark his 42nd birthday. The photo was taken by Catherine.

Honestly I think this is one of my favourite photos of the family!

Great photo!

NightPuffins · 21/06/2024 10:15

That's lovely, such a happy photo!

CoffeeCantata · 21/06/2024 10:17

Lovely photo - and what great legs all round!

Hope that vegetation in the foreground was softer than it looks...

I love that photo! It's put a smile on face and I'm usually a miserable bugger.

It has a similar effect on my as the laughing dormouse photo. Actually it might be even better than the laughing dormouse because they look like they're having fun.

It's a great photo. They all look so happy.

It’s behind them! 😁

That is one freaky photo. If you WhatsApped in an explosion in the background, it would look like they were jumping for their lives, screaming.

OliveTheaBough · 21/06/2024 10:38

That is a cracking photo.

In the fullness of time future generations will be shown a fascinating social history of the current royals, thanks to Kate’s talents for photography. Way beyond any insights we’ve ever had before.

Contrast pics like this with ones showing Charles playing football with toddler William while wearing a double breasted suit!

BemusedAmerican · 21/06/2024 10:40

What a great photo! Thanks for posting it!

I'm beginning to think Catherine is starting to have fun with the amateur photo critics.

Brilliant photo, very well captured.

CheeseWisely · 21/06/2024 10:45

Fantastic photo. My favourite photos of the family are those taken by Catherine herself, followed closely by those taken by Matt Porteous.

MrsLeonFarrell · 21/06/2024 10:46

Such a joyful photo. Charles playing football in a suit was very of its time and so is this one. It's interesting to see the way the monarchy present themselves change aside from it being a fab photo.

I hope the dune grass is behind them because that stuff is sharp!

I bet she photoshopped in an explosion in the background at some point. The photo asks for it.

Nanny0gg · 21/06/2024 10:55

She may be an amateur photographer. but she's very good!

I'd love one of my family like that

They certainly do look happy, it's a lovely shot.
But surely it's been photoshopped?
Can the children, Louis in particular, really jump that high?

3peassuit · 21/06/2024 11:12

It’s a nice fun photo.

CremeFresh · 21/06/2024 11:12

Maybe they're jumping off of a dune rather than just jumping vertically.

They're not jumping up, they're jumping from the top of the dune down.

DontThinkJustDo · 21/06/2024 11:35

The grass and arguably sky are definately photoshopped but who cares? It's a lovely happy photo.

RedRosesPinkLilies · 21/06/2024 11:36

I love it! It works really well with the previous photo (the one taken from the back), that was quite somber in tone - this is joyful. Looking back and looking forward. Kate really does these things well.

Noideawhatiam · 21/06/2024 11:37

Oh I agree it's fabulous, in fact so much I'd love one of my own children.
I'm just trying to work out how to achieve it.

RedRosesPinkLilies · 21/06/2024 11:38

@DontThinkJustDo - maybe that’s a pointed ‘comment’ to the Mothers Day fiasco
Kate has taken a leaf out of the last Queen’s subtle comments

That was my first thought; they're having fun with it now. Good for them I say.

Everything this past week has just shot down every negative rumour and all the ridiculousness out there. It won't stop it but it's absolutely showing these people for who they are.

As for the photo, it's fabulous. They look so 'normal'. Like any other family on the beach.

William does have a lovely physique doesn't he?
