“You can submit your images taken during this challenging time to the National Portrait Gallery and could hopefully be one of 100 shortlisted for the exhibition,” Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s youngest daughter added.

During her appearance on the show, Middleton explained that the photographic efforts have three themes, “Helpers and Heroes, Your New Normal, and Acts of Kindness.” The photos will be a collection of the experiences and stories of the people across the globe during the pandemic.

There will be desperate and sad photos and uplifting images that show how the people unite to support those who are more vulnerable.

“Hold Still aims to capture a portrait of the nation, the spirit of the nation, what everyone is going through at this time. Photographs reflecting resilience, bravery, kindness—all those things that people are experiencing,” Middleton said.

“I hope once this is all over we keep some of this informality on royal engagements moving forward. I am really enjoying seeing this side of both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I hope that continues,” Scobie added.
