One of Kate Middleton’s defining projects of 2020 was the Hold Still portrait competition with the National Portrait Gallery.
The competition saw over 31,000 submissions of photographs that best showed what the U.K. was going through during the height of the pandemic.
The final 100 images are now being made into a book, Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020, to which the Duchess of Cambridge wrote the introduction. “When we look back at the COVID-19 pandemic in decades to come, we will think of the challenges we all faced – the loved ones we lost, the extended isolation from our families and friends and the strain placed on our key workers.
