"Technology changes fast in the digital age but the monarchy generally changes slowly, meaning there is always a risk of the palace getting left behind. One high-profile example came in March 2024 when Kate edited an image of herself with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, sparking a major backlash when the photo was then subject to a "kill notice" by picture agencies."
"The Mother Nature series has been a deeply personal, creative reflection on how nature has helped me heal. But it is also a story about the power of nature and creativity in collective healing. There is so much we can learn from mother nature, as we look to build a happier, healthier world. C [Catherine]."
Princess Kate marked her birthday with a professionally edited, stylized nature video released on social media. The footage used Kensington Palace videography and a prepared voice-over, continuing the Mother Nature series that began in 2025. The clip featured sweeping wide-angle winter countryside shots and images of the princess exploring nature, accompanied by a message about nature, creativity, healing and building a happier, healthier world. Current marketing advice favors grainy authenticity over glossy, heavily edited content, and some critics warn polished videos risk reading as "AI slop." The monarchy's slow pace of change and a prior photo-editing backlash illustrate risks in royal digital communications.
