Beautiful red coat, but a bit to long, this way it makes her look older then she is.
 
Just seen that video on the news. I like that the pictures are going up all around the country in places where people can see them and not just in a gallery.

I agree that it is best that the portraits are shared throughout the nation.
 
More of the images from "Hold Still" are being installed throughout the UK.'

The Duchess of Cambridge, 39, launched the community project in May and invited people of all ages from across the UK to submit a photographic portrait which they had taken during lockdown.
Last week the top 100 images went on show in 80 towns, cities and areas across the country.
Posting on the Kensington Royal Instagram this morning, Kate shared six snaps taken by contributors and enthusiastic members of the public posing beside portraits from the exhibition.
 
The Duchess of Cambridge has marked the end of the Hold Still community exhibit with a video message thanking all those who submitted images for the project to highlight the United Kingdom during the first COVID-19 lockdown.


"Thank you for being part of #HoldStill2020!

The portraits that illustrate your stories and experiences of lockdown have shown just how much communities have come together during this difficult year."

Duchess of Cambridge launches photobook capturing loss and challenges of Covid crisis

In an introduction to the book, the Duchess said she had wanted to use the power of photography to create a lasting record of the pandemic, to capture individual stories and significant moments for families and communities.

“When we look back at the COVID-19 pandemic in decades to come, we will think of the challenges we all faced – the loved ones we lost, the extended isolation from our families and friends and the strain placed on our key workers,” she said.

“But we will also remember the positives: the incredible acts of kindness, the helpers and heroes who emerged from all walks of life, and how together we adapted to a new normal.”

(...)

Dr Cullinan hailed the “phenomenal” public response to the project and the images submitted had “helped to create a unifying and cathartic portrait of life in lockdown.”

He added: “Hold Still is an important record of this extraordinary moment in our history – expressed through the faces of the nation – and we hope will remain so for generations to come.”

Paul Farmer, chief executive of Mind, said the “inspiring” collection of portraits illustrated the impact of the pandemic “in all its complexity,” but also showed how “creativity, art and human connection can help us find meaning in unprecedented challenges.”

The image of the Duchess featured in the book was taken by Matt Porteous in Norfolk last autumn.

Mila is such a sweet and brave girl. (A tweet from her mother suggested that she's in hospital again :sad:. Hopefully she'll get well soon).

As for this series of phone calls (which is said will be released gradually later), by telling stories this project will not only can be linked to Catherine's photography patronage, but also Mental Health. For a "simple" project about sharing photos, this seems to grow bigger than it seemed. Well done, what a brilliant initiative!!

The Duchess of Cambridge joined the Book Fairies action today by becoming a book fairy herself and hiding copies of Hold Still.

"Book Fairies around the world are hiding books for people to find, read and leave for someone else".

"Each copy is adorned with a gold book fairy sticker, gold ribbon, and has a letter from The Duchess tucked inside":

To mark the publication of Hold Still the Duchess of Cambridge visited Royal London Hospital to learn how the hospital uses art to benefit its staff and patients, and later visited the National Portrait Gallery Archive to launch the nation-wide treasure hunt for her photography book Hold Still:
