Kate Middleton is now the royal patron of The Royal Photographic Society, and she made her new gig official today with a visit to a photography workshop co-hosted by the institution. The Duchess of Cambridge's new role, which was previously held by the queen for over 60 years, was announced earlier this morning by Kensington Palace.

The workshop was run in partnership with another one of Kate's patronages, Action for Children, a charity that supports disadvantaged young people through fostering and adoption. The event "will highlight how photography provides a universal language for young people to express themselves and release their thoughts and feelings," according to a release from the palace.

"It is a huge honor to have The Duchess as our Patron, especially given her personal interest in photography," the Royal Photographic Society's COO, Mike Taylor, said in a statement. "We know that photography and creative pursuits have such a positive impact for people of all ages, and we are excited to be working with one of the duchess’s charities in support of their work."
