Kate, the wife of Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince William,
was given honorary lifetime membership of the charity in
recognition of her "talent and enthusiasm".
Her photographs, the first official portraits to be taken by a
member of the royal family, have included shots of George
holding his younger sister and of the young prince on his first
day at nursery school.
"The Duchess of Cambridge has had a long-standing interest in
photography and its history," said Michael Pritchard, chief
executive of the society which was formed in 1853 and counts
Elizabeth's great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria and her
husband Prince Albert among its early patrons.
"She is latest in a long line of royal photographers and the
Society is pleased to recognize her talent and enthusiasm
through honorary membership," Pritchard added.
