Princess Kate shines in new portrait during family vacation!

Catherine, Princess of Wales, and her husband, Prince William, are currently enjoying a family holiday in nature with their three children: Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (10) and Prince Louis (7). On May 29, 2025, a new portrait of Catherine, created as part of this holiday, was published. Royal photographer Josh Shinner, known for his work with the Royal Family, took the image.

The portrait shows Catherine with her arms crossed and a gentle smile. The exact location and time of the photo are not known, but it is believed that it was taken during the couple's trip to Scotland at the end of April. Catherine is wearing the same outfit as on a forest walk in the Ardura Community Forest, where they explored nature and met employees of the “Iona Ranger Service” on April 30th.

Royal marriage and family life

Catherine, born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton on January 9, 1982, is part of the British royal family and has been linked to William, Prince of Wales, heir to the throne, since her marriage ceremony on April 29, 2011. The wedding took place in Westminster Abbey and was watched by around 300 million people worldwide. The couple met in 2001 at the University of St Andrews, where she graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history.

The couple has three children who play a central role in their lives and public appearances. Catherine is known for her involvement in charity work, particularly in the areas of early childhood and mental health. Together with William and Prince Harry, she launched the Heads Together campaign in 2016 to raise awareness of mental illness.

Public image and fashion influence

Catherine has established herself as a significant figure in British society. Her influence on fashion is often referred to as the “Kate Middleton effect,” and she was named by Time recognized as one of the most influential people in the world in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Your public relations work is characterized by a sensitive approach to the media, especially when it comes to your privacy.

Last year, Catherine was forced to undergo elective abdominal surgery and subsequently received a cancer diagnosis, putting public and private pressure on her. After her treatment, including chemotherapy, she appeared in public again in June 2024, at Trooping the Color.

As a patron of several charities, including the Anna Freud Center and Action for Children, she is actively involved in social causes and advocates for environmental awareness. The new portrait, which shows the princess during a relaxing family vacation in nature, could be interpreted as a reflection of her dual roles as an elegant queen and dedicated mother.
