Journalist Afua Hagan explained: “The Princess of Wales understands who she is, the position that she’s in. She also understands the interest in her family, especially her children, that people want to see them growing up. So she understands that the press needs these pictures.”
She added: “The Princess of Wales has seen first hand through her husband, Prince William, the damage that the press has done to his life and so she’s realised that if she can do something about that, if she can take control, then she should do that.”
Afua explained the move was “unprecedented” for the Royal Family, as media coverage has always been a part of life within the monarchy, and something Prince William has dealt with from birth.
Royal Commentator, Ingrid Seward, added the Princess of Wales is the “main photographer of the family” and by doing this, the children wouldn’t have to go through the “trauma” of having to pose for somebody they didn’t know.
