What is Kate Middleton’s photobook all about?
Earlier last year, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, announced the creation of her own photo book, “Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020”. A compilation of photographs submitted by people across the U.K, the photo book is a documentation of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic’s impact towards people across the country. To celebrate the recent release of the photo book, the duchess launched a nationwide treasure hunt for 150 unique copies of ‘Hold Still’. Each copy of the hidden photo books were adorned with a gold Book Fairy sticker, a gold ribbon and a special letter from Kate Middleton herself.
Make your own Photobook
Most of us spent a large part of 2020 at home, whether alone or with our loved ones. Remote working and online classes became the norm, and being at home allowed us to pick up new hobbies, create unique memories and spend more time with family. Moments like this deserve to be cherished and preserved in a photobook that can be looked back on in the future.
Pick out some of the most memorable moments of you and your loved ones at home during the pandemic; the first days of lockdown, the first cake you baked, the virtual birthday celebrations, the first time you stepped outside again and so much more. Make a photo book that suits your style and echoes the sentiment that you want to deliver.
Here are some different ideas of pandemic-themed photobooks for you to consider when you make your own photobook:
i. Watch and track how much your little ones have grown over the past year with our kids’ readybook collections. Try out our photo book maker with their favourite characters like “Spiderman, Luke Skywalker or even Barbie!

iii. Celebrate special days with your loved ones by giving them the best gift: precious memories! Whether it is their birthday or anniversary, make your own photo book from our wide range of layouts and personalise it.
iv. A year at home with our parents and siblings might’ve had its ups and downs, but we appreciate them regardless. Show them how much they mean to you with your own personalised family photobook.
