The Duchess of Cambridge thanked participants of the Hold Still 2020 project

With a video message, The Duchess of Cambridge thanked everybody who submitted a photograph to the National Portrait Gallery’s 'Hold Still 2020' project. The project was launched by The Duchess of Cambridge in May, in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. 'Hold Still' project invited people of the UK to submit a photograph that they had taken during lockdown.

Since September, 100 selected photos have been on display in an online National Portrait Gallery exhibition. During the video, The Duchess of Cambridge wore a red gathered shoulders blazer by Zara. The Duchess had worn the blazer first in 2012 at London 2012 games.

Earlier this week, The Duchess of Cambridge held a video call with Nurse Johannah Churchill, who photographed her colleague Melanie as she worked to set up a COVID clinic in London.

During the video call, she and The Duchess talked about the impact the photo has had in the country and the important role it played in representing the experiences of frontline workers. The image is displayed in a huge mural in Manchester. During the video call, The Duchess wore a new blue cardigan by Boden.
