Royal photographer Chris Jackson told Insider that this shot of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is one of his favorite photos of the royal couple.
Jackson took the photo during a 2017 visit to Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France.
"I was looking around, looking at what might make a picture and what might not, and this seemed like quite a complicated silhouette, so I wasn't sure it was going to work," Jackson said. "But I love this particular moment, where the duchess is between the spokes of the clock, and she's glancing out to the left slightly. It's just a little bit more unusual. It stands out from the day-to-day royal engagements."
Jackson also photographed William and Middleton sharing a moment behind the scenes at the 2021 Earthshot Prize awards.
Held at Alexandra Palace in London, the Earthshot Prize awards honor environmental problem-solvers with a total of $5 million for their sustainable solutions. National Geographic dubbed it "the most prestigious environmental award in history."
