This year&#8217;s photographs felt like part of a unique set and this isn&#8217;t surprising as they were all taken on their holiday to Cornwall over Easter.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen some overlap in the past, but this is the first time so many of William and Kate&#8217;s official snaps were obviously shot over the same, private trip. The couple also posted follow-up videos giving even more personal glimpses of their children enjoying themselves on the beach.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-seasonal\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-953f5b6a-7593-47b4-bc8f-c0de4dd2dff2-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Looked at separately, these are adorable snapshots of the Waleses at their most relaxed.

Instead of focusing on giving each a separate feel with their own background landscape like they&#8217;ve done before, the Prince and Princess totally leaned into the connection.<\/p>\n<p>Their choice made these posts seem like part of a holiday album and emphasised the down-to-earth quality. Although the backgrounds were slightly different in each one and they&#8217;re all beautifully shot by Matt Porteous, the focus was more on presenting them as the family they truly are, rather than as picture-perfect royals.<\/p>\n<p>The videos were the epitome of this and we got to see Charlotte stroking their dogs Orla and Otto on board a boat and bowling a cricket ball on the beach &#8211; likely to Louis who also played cricket in his video.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-fdab0bfe-9073-4b17-a0c0-4e5c06ac23ca\">To an extent the Wales kids have always been seen in this modern, playful way in their parents&#8217; posts, though I think that the future King and Queen are forging ahead with this even more. They&#8217;ve got their own way of doing things and in recent years this has been clearer than ever.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-G7VTufMqLUF6LPWjmDEZLE\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-G7VTufMqLUF6LPWjmDEZLE slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up to our free daily email for the latest royal and entertainment news, interesting opinion, expert advice on styling and beauty trends, and no-nonsense guides to the health and wellness questions you want answered.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Tradition is still important, but William and Kate&#8217;s first priority is their children and they prefer being more low-key as senior royals.

She felt she could be more funny, more jovial,&#8221; she declared.<\/p>\n<p>Prince William and Kate are seemingly keen for their public personas to be very approachable and the Prince of Wales once said that his grandmother was supportive of things evolving.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She likes that we have our own style. It&#8217;s a new generation, and there&#8217;s no point in everyone doing it the same way. It&#8217;s the modernisation of the Royal Family that keeps it interesting and relevant,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block mb-5\" id=\"articleTag\" data-component-name=\"PostArticleLinks\" data-nosnippet=\"\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"post-article-links\">\n<p>TOPICS<\/p>\n<nav class=\"py-2.5 flex gap-2.5 flex-wrap\" data-analytics-id=\"article-tag\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-tag\">\n<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"flex-none p-2.5 text-white bg-neutral-950 hover:bg-neutral-500 hover:underline hover:underline-offset-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womanandhome.com\/tag\/prince-william\/\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"\/tag\/prince-william\"><br \/>\nPrince William<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"flex-none p-2.5 text-white bg-neutral-950 hover:bg-neutral-500 hover:underline hover:underline-offset-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womanandhome.com\/tag\/catherine-princess-of-wales\/\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"\/tag\/catherine-princess-of-wales\"><br \/>\nCatherine, Princess of Wales<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.womanandhome.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Prince and Princess of Wales&#8216;s wedding anniversary falls in between Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte&#8216;s birthdays, giving us three new royal pictures to look forward to in a very short period of time.
