They said whaaat?! #DuchessofCambridge. #Vogue.

The Duchess of Cambridge is  on the cover of Vogue UK 100th anniversary issue.
Photographed by Josh Olins in the Norfolk countryside, the Duchess is in a 10-page shoot in the June 2016 centenary issue, the first magazine shoot that she has ever consented to shoot with. Check out the pictures below !  Read here at Vogue UK.

“It was very clear from the outset these pictures were to be of the woman herself rather than of a figurehead, and they would be as informal as possible.” Editor Vogue of UK

“Kate instantly loved the idea of being photographed in the countryside and wanted the photos to “reflect an element of her private existence”. Vogue UK

“Kate didn’t want to be dressed as a fashion plate, no gowns or tiaras, rather in pieces she would wear every day”  Vogue .

“On the morning of the shoot, Kate arrived smiling in a parka and jeans with her hair in rollers. She joked about how she must have looked in the car driving with hair rollers before walking through a small cottage door, where the team had set up, with hairdresser Amanda Cook-Tucker.”

“She is not someone who feels entirely comfortable at the end of the lens or as the centre of attention” Vogue

“Kate’s lack of vanity and lack of fuss impressed the team immensely. She sifted through the rails of clothes, assembled by fashion director Luncinda Chambers, overlooking the three gowns Lucinda chose ‘just in case’ and laughed at some of the options”.

“She was equally relaxed when make-up artist Sally Branka did her make-up quite different to how she usually wears it – hardly looking in the mirror”.

“Kate was the only person there who wasn’t regularly checking her phone, she didn’t appear to have it with her”

“The process of the shoot was fascinating to see. It was much closer to the process of painting a portrait than I had appreciated before, seeing the layers of the setting, make-up, clothes and light all coming together to form the final image. Seeing everything come together at once made me realise how much work goes into a single image.” Duchess of Cambridge.

“From taking photographs of George and Charlotte, I have been struck by the wonderful lack of self-consciousness that you see in photographs of children, without the self-awareness that adults generally feel.” Duchess of Cambridge.
