Look again at Prince William and Catherine’s 2025 round-up pictures and you’ll spot what I did - and this is why their choice speaks volumes

Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales return from the island of Iona.

Some were poignant, like the picture of the couple commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day, and others depicted joyful moments such as Trooping the Colour.

It struck me immediately that Prince William and Princess Catherine included only one picture featuring any of their children.
