As the Princess of Wales continues to battle cancer away from the public eye, the doting mum still found time to keep a sweet tradition with son Prince George alive on his birthday

Well known for a being an “enthusiastic amateur photographer”, Kate is no stranger to wielding a camera, with many of the birthday photos released for her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis shot by the senior royal herself in a touching and very personal tribute to each of them on their special day.

This year however, the Princess of Wales ’ usual routine has been thrown into chaos by her ongoing battle with an undisclosed form of cancer, with Kate having revealed back in June that she was still undergoing treatment for a number of months yet.

However even a cancer diagnosis was no match for Kate’s love of photography and testament to tradition, as she was able to take the photograph that was shared around the world, herself – in what many believe may even have contributed towards her recovery.
