Kate Middleton: The Photographer

The Duchess of Cambridge's personal photographs of the Borneo rainforest have been published by St James's Palace after it launched a new website to promote her interests.

Seven photographs, four of which are in black and white, capture the majesty of the island's habitat, and the Duchess has even managed to snap an orangutan hanging from the branch of a tree.

The move is part of a push to ramp up the Duke and Duchess's media operation as they prepare for their eventual roles as full-time working Royals.

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./
