According to him, Princess Charlotte is a very interesting subject and so he was able to capture a lot of spontaneous shots of the little royal.

“Princess Charlotte did [have] some great pictures over the years,” Hussein told Us Weekly. “Just some great spontaneous moments.”

Hussein has worked with the royal family on various occasions including royal engagements, weddings and birthdays. He was also the man behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s iconic rain snap. For Hussein, Princess Charlotte is a “real character” just like her big brother, Prince George.

“I think that’s the thing with kids, you just don’t know what you’re going to get and that makes it really fun to photograph,” the veteran photographer said about working with the royal kids.

“At the end of the day they’re just kids, and you can’t necessarily ask them to behave in a certain way because it [makes for] some really good spontaneous images. I really love shooting the royal children when I get the opportunity.”

Hussein also praised Middleton’s talent in photography. According to him, Prince William’s wife has definitely improved.

Middleton released new snaps of Princess Charlotte a day before her birthday. In the shots, Princess Charlotte looks very cute and beautiful in her black and white checkered dress.

Princess Charlotte helped pack and deliver some food packages ahead of her birthday. In one shot, she was photographed smiling while holding three bags.

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share four new photographs of Princess Charlotte ahead of her fifth birthday tomorrow,” the palace wrote on Twitter. “The images were taken by The Duchess as the family helped to pack up and deliver food packages for isolated pensioners in the local area.”
