This decision was made due to the weight of Catherine’s ongoing health battles coupled with the scrutiny surrounding family photos, which has taken a toll on both Prince William and Princess Catherine. While Princess Katherine reportedly underwent preventative chemotherapy not long ago and is doing well, the couple still intends to celebrate their son’s birthday by sharing a stunning new portrait of him, a practice passed down from generation to generation.
However, due to a recent Photoshop controversy involving the royal couple, they are uncertain about who will photograph their next picture. While Princess Catherine is known to be a passionate photographer responsible for the charming announcements of all her children, they are hoping that subsequent photographers will face less criticism.
