The Duchess of Cambridge is the most photographed woman in the world, but now she plans to display her own skills with a camera. Mandrake hears that Kate is considering staging an exhibition of her photographs in aid of the charities of which she has become patron.

“Photography is a great passion for the Duchess and she continues to pursue it avidly,” a courtier says. “It is a real release for her and she takes it very seriously.”

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
