The snap of Charlotte cradling a butterfly is in support of the Big Butterfly Count, which encourages people across the UK to contribute to a giant survey of British butterflies. In the picture, Charlotte gently holds a Red Admiral in her cupped hands, while two other pictures in the series capture Red Admiral and Peacock butterflies perched on a beautiful lilac buddleia. The photographer’s identity has not been confirmed, though usually, Kate is behind the lens when it comes to pictures of her kids. The snaps were most likely taken on the Cambridges country estate of Anmer Hall in Norfolk. A caption accompanying the pictures said, “@savebutterflies are encouraging us all to count these incredible creatures because not only are they beautiful creatures to be around but they are also extremely important. Butterflies are vital parts of the ecosystem as both pollinators and components of the food chain.” Next up, Meghan Markle Wore Two New Diamond Necklaces That Represent Archie and Lili’s Star Signs!
