I expected new photos but disappointingly not these. To me these photos look like they're from a magazine photo-shoot.
At 40, Kate is an established British princess with a beautiful family. In my opinion, the photos should have reflected that. The three photos should have been
1. Kate with her family
2. Kate in full regalia (tiara etc) in an official room at KP or BO
3. Kate alone (perhaps the black and white photo where she is looking at the camera)
I think Chris Jackson should have had the honors of photographing the Duchess as he "knows" her better than most photographers and could have captured her best.
