British royal family news has revealed that Kate Middleton has launched a new campaign that will be aimed at capturing their progress through the coronavirus pandemic. The programme was launched on Thursday, as it will be used to document peoples’ lives as they live through this uncertain period. The campaign hopes to highlight the mood and spirit of the country throughout this current pandemic.
London’s Portrait Gallery will run the Hold Still Project. The announcement of the campaign comes hot on the heels after the announcement that the United Kingdom has been the hardest-hit country in the whole of Europe by the pandemic. The latest figures released highlighted that there have been over 30,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the UK.
British Royal Family News: Kate Invites People From Around The UK To Get Involved
During the announcement, Kate encouraged people from around the UK to get involved in the campaign, as they are able to submit a portrait that they have captured during this unprecedented time. As well as the picture, those that submit are also required to post a handwritten statement outlining their thoughts, experiences and feelings that are shown in the picture.
The submissions will be whittled down by experts, who will then reveal the final portraits that will be displayed in the gallery over the summertime. However, those that aren’t able to get down to the gallery in London will also be able to see the exhibition online at the gallery’s website. Kate revealed in a statement that the whole country has been affected by the images, and that they have given an ‘insight into the experiences’ of people around the UK.
British Royal Family News: Competition Is Free To Enter
The competition is free to enter, with people of all ages and ability able to take part. There are no specific guidelines on the quality of the picture, as the photo can be taken on a phone. The competition will be judged on the emotion of the photograph and the emotion that can be seen.
Kate is a patron of the art gallery and is said to have come up with the idea after talking to the bosses at the gallery. The duchess and her family are currently in self-isolation like the remainder of the country, but there has been a reason to celebrate over the past couple of weeks as Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have both celebrated birthdays.
