凱特王妃成爲皇家攝影協會終身會員
The Duchess of Cambridge has accepted a lifetime honorary membership of the Royal Photographic Society for her family portraits and tour photos.
憑藉出色的家庭成員照和旅行留影，劍橋公爵夫人於日前被授予了英國皇家攝影學會終身會員。Chief executive Michael Pritchard praised the duchess for her "talent and enthusiasm" behind the lens.
首席執行官邁克爾·普里查德盛讚鏡頭後的她“有天賦又充滿熱情”。"She is latest in a long line of royal photographers and the society is pleased to recognise her talent and enthusiasm through honorary membership. We look forward to a continuing relationship with her."
“她是新晉皇家攝影師，協會很高興授予她榮譽會員，對她攝影才能和熱情表示認可。我們期望她繼續待在攝影協會。”
She broke with tradition to take the first official photographs of Princess Charlotte in 2015 and pictures of Prince George on his first day at nursery received widespread praise.
2015年，她打破英國的傳統，親自爲夏洛特公主照了第一張官方照片，喬治王子第一天去幼兒園的照片也受到了大家的好評。But holiday snaps taken in Borneo received mixed reviews.
但是婆羅洲的度假照片收到的評論則褒貶不一。She is thought to be the first person to be given the honour without having won one of the society's awards, and was said to be very pleased.
劍橋公爵夫人是第一位沒有獲得過協會獎項而被授予這一稱號的人，據稱她非常開心。The society, established in 1853, works to promote photography and to support photographers irrespective of their level of knowledge, equipment or skills.
皇家攝影協會成立於1853年，不分學識、裝備或技術，致力於促進攝影業的發展，爲攝影者提供幫助。It holds exhibitions and workshops and has a long tradition of links to the Royal family: Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were early patrons while several official Royal photographers were members. Professional photographer Lord Snowdon won its Hood Medal in 1978.
皇家攝影協會舉辦了多次攝影展和研討會，一直以來與英國王室家族保持着密切的聯繫：維多利亞女王和艾伯特王子是早期的贊助人，有幾位皇家御用攝影師也是其成員。專業攝影師斯諾頓勳爵在1978年獲得了胡德獎章。
