Kensington Palace Just Posted Kate Middleton’s Personal Email on Instagram

Only in our dreams would we ever imagine getting an email directly from Kate Middleton. However, three lucky individuals (including a man named Nick) got just that—and we received a sneak peek.

On Friday, the official Kensington Palace Instagram account shared a screenshot of a private email from the Duchess of Cambridge giving an update on Hold Still, a photography initiative aiming to reflect the feelings of everyone across the United Kingdom amid the current coronavirus pandemic.

According to the email, it seems like the 38-year-old royal has picked her top 100 photos that were submitted to the initiative. The body of the email reads, “Dear judges, I am thrilled we have finally chosen the final 100 portraits. I thought you might like to see the images all together so please find them attached. I couldn’t have done it without you so thank you so much for your help!” She signed the email “C,” for her full name Catherine.

Middleton launched the project in May, in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, asking followers to “help capture the spirit, the mood, the hopes, the fears and the feelings of the U.K,” using phones or cameras and sharing the images online. Kensington Palace announced the program in an Instagram post.

“Completely free and open to all ages and abilities, Hold Still will capture a snapshot of the U.K. at this time, creating a collective portrait of lockdown which will reflect resilience and bravery, humor and sadness, creativity and kindness, and human tragedy and hope,” the duchess said in a statement. “One hundred shortlisted portraits will feature in a gallery without walls—a one of a kind digital exhibition open to all this August.”

Nick (whoever you are), can you please forward us this email so we can see which photos made the cut? Thanks.
