The Duchess of Cambridge celebrated her new patronage today by visiting a photography workshop held by the The Royal Photographic society. As an artistic minded mom and practicing photographer, Kate is a perfect fit to act as patron for the organization. Queen Elizabeth announced she would be relinquishing her role and giving her granddaughter-in-law the new patronage just this morning.
