Kate Middleton (opens in new tab) just shared a brand never, never-before-seen photo of her daughter, Princess Charlotte (opens in new tab), straight from her private collection.
The photo, of Charlotte (opens in new tab) literally stopping to smell a flower, is one Kate referenced specifically in her recent interview on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby (opens in new tab) podcast.
“I’ve got this one photo of Charlotte smelling a bluebell, and really for me it’s moments like that mean so much to me as a parent," Kate told host Giovanna Fletcher during their candid discussion about parenting on the podcast. "I try every day to put moments like that in, even if they’re small or even if I don’t have time."
After the interview aired in full on Saturday, Kate took to Instagram (opens in new tab) to share the photo, which, like many pictures of the Cambridge kids, she took herself (opens in new tab).
"Swipe 👉 to listen to The Duchess of Cambridge speaking about her experiences as a parent on the ‘Happy Mum, Happy Baby’ podcast with @MrsGiFletcher," Kensington Palace wrote in the caption of the post, which also contained an audio clip of the relevant part of the podcast.
