Kate Middleton & Prince William Share First Post on Social Media Since Releasing Prince George’s Birthday Portraits

It’s been 16 days since we’ve seen an in-feed post shared on Kate Middleton and Prince William’s shared Instagram account, @dukeandduchessofcambridge. Sure, they shared a sweet tribute to Meghan Markle on their Instagram Story, but we’re talking about a full-on post with a caption and all. Luckily, the couple returned from their social media hiatus (our words not theirs) early this morning.

On Friday, the couple shared a slideshow on the account, thanking the Imperial War Museum of London for including them in its new photography exhibition, which brings together over 50 contemporary portraits of Holocaust survivors and their families.

Per the post’s caption, the images, which are being displayed for the first time, “capture the special connections between Holocaust survivors and the younger generations of their families, and remind us of our collective responsibility to ensure their stories live on.” The snaps showcase a group of survivors who made the U.K. their home following the Holocaust.

“While offering a space to remember and share their stories, these portraits are a celebration of the full lives they have lived and the special legacy which their children and grandchildren will carry into the future” the captioned continued.

“The exhibition is in partnership with the @RoyalPhotographicSociet, Jewish News and @holocaustmemorialdaytrust. Together, the organizations invited Middleton to be part of this special project.” (And yes, she’s even featured in one of the photographs.)

As we mentioned above, this is the first IG post the couple has shared over the last two weeks. However, as we learned this week per Hello! Magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge quietly took a trip to the Isles of Scilly in Cornwall with their three kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis (which would explain the social media silence).

Either way, we’re happy to see posts from the couple back in our feed.
