Over the years as Duchess, we have come to learn that Kate Middleton has many talents, including piano, various sports (including rugby, of course), and photography.

For the new exhibition "Life Through a Royal Lens" at Kensington Palace (aka her official home), the Duchess of Cambridge provided three photographs of her children. She spoke with the staff of the exhibition about her love of photography and how it came about.

Luckily for the curious among us (do I sound like an elementary school teacher already?), Claudia Acott Williams, curator of Historic Royal Palaces, shared some of her inside knowledge with Express.

"Her grandfather was a very good photographer. 'When she was a child, my grandfather would show her slides. It was he who taught her how to take pictures."

Instead, the Duchess continues her grandfather's legacy by photographing her family, sometimes sharing some of those photos on the Cambridges' official Instagram.

Middleton's interest in photography was sparked at a young age, and she pursued it in various ways, including writing her dissertation as a college student on author Lewis Carroll's photographs of children.

According to the Express, she wrote to the Lewis Carroll Society at the time: "I am interested in looking at Carroll's representations of 'children' and would like to see whether his photographs support or conflict with our concept of childhood."

This gives us considerable insight into how thoughtful royalty must be when taking pictures of their children.

Opening on March 4 and running through October 30, "Life Through a Royal Lens" takes visitors through the history of the royal family, from when photography was first invented to today.

Of particular note is a previously unseen photograph of Princess Diana taken by David Bailey in 1988. This black-and-white photograph has been compared to a recent portrait of her daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, which, according to Us Weekly, was released on the Duchess's 40th birthday.

In the trailer for the exhibit, photographers who have worked with the Queen and other members of the royal family give their thoughts on what the experience is like.

John Rankin Waddell (a.k.a. Rankin) said, "You are looking through the lens at the person who is looking at that photograph.
