Royal fans have been left outraged as Princess Kate was not included by the Royal Family in a message to mark International Women's Day 2025.
The Princess of Wales wasn't the only female working royal to not feature in the message dedicated to royal female photographers, with The Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra being absent.
The Royal Family took to Instagram to share some of the iconic portraits, taken by female photographers of the female royals to celebrate the big day.
The post featured images of late Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Camilla, late Queen Victoria, Princess Anne, late Queen Alexandra, and the Duchess of Edinburgh.

The post was captioned: “Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we are showcasing the Royal Family’s longstanding support for female photographers which stretches back as far as the advent of photography in the mid-1800s.
“From Frances Sally Day’s photographs of Queen Victoria in the 1850s, to Dorothy Wilding’s portraits of a young Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, and Nigerian photographer Christina Ebenezer’s recent portraits of The Duchess of Edinburgh, female photographers have captured members of the Royal Family in their own unique ways since the artform began.”
Royal fans were quick to point out that Buckingham Palace’s post marked a noticeable absence of one of the key royals, Princess Kate, whose portrait was not included in the tribute.
One user wrote: “I’m sad to see no Princess of Wales.”
Another said: “You’re missing The Princess of Wales.”
A third added: “Where is the Catherine?”
Although Catherine marked her 43rd Birthday with a potrait taken by male Matt Porteous, the Princess has been captured by private female photographer, Millie Pilkington.
Pilkington recently snapped a royal potrait of King Charles in a tartan kilt, the traditional attire of Scotland, as he stood in the library at Balmoral Castle to mark Burns Night.
