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."

"It was a real buzz to be behind the scenes and capturing some of those special moments," Jackson said. "This is just one particular moment which I loved in the evening. Visually, I think it worked, and it was quite special to be doing that."
