We totally agree!
A royal photographer has praised Kate Middleton's amateur photography—calling her pictures 'impressive' and 'beautiful'.
- Arthur Edwards, a royal photographer, has been taking pictures of the royals since the '70s.
- The Duchess of Cambridge has been photographing her family for the last few years.
- In other royal news, Meghan Markle has written an adorable dedication to Prince Harry and Archie in her new children's book.
The royal photographer has praised the Duchesses family portraits, calling the picture of Prince William and their children a 'winner'.
Arthur Edwards, who was speaking on ITV's The Royal Rota podcast, said, "The picture that I love most that she's done is William and the three children on the swing. I would have killed to have taken that picture."

"Everybody's laughing at their mum, and you know that only a mother or a father could get that picture, and it's an absolute winner. Charlotte with her arm around daddy, you know, "daddy's girl". It's a lovely picture, I was so full of praise for her on that."
Kate has been taking pictures of her family for the last few years, including her childrens' official birthday portraits.
While Arthur even went on to admit that he was a 'great admirer' of the Duchesses photography skills and believes she has 'grasped it very quickly.'
