Kate and Prince William have changed the profile picture on their Instagram and Twitter accounts, named Kensington Royal. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge revamped the image of their social media platforms and paid tribute to NHS staff and carers who are helping Britain fight the coronavirus pandemic. 

Before the weekend, the profile picture used on Kensington Royal consisted of a snap showing smiling a Kate and Prince William in the gardens of their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall.

In the old profile picture, the Cambridges were surrounded by their children, with little Prince Louis comfortably sitting on his mother’s lap.

The snap was taken in 2018, and shared by the Cambridges as Christmas card on that same year.

Today, eagle-eyed royal fans noticed the new profile picture on Kensington Royal had changed to a snap taken two weeks ago, when the Cambridges stepped out on their doorsteps and joined the nationwide Clap For Our Carers initiative.

This is the third time the profile picture of Kensington Royal have changed over the past year.

Up to April last year, Kensington Royal featured a picture showing Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Kate and Prince William attending the first forum of the Royal Foundation.

The four young royals could be seen sitting together as they took part in a panel in February 2018, a few months before Meghan and Harry’s Royal Wedding.

At the time, Kate was heavily pregnant with Prince Louis.

This picture was changed after Buckingham Palace announced the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would get their own household.

As the Sussex Royal Instagram account was created, Kate and William changed their profile picture to display only members of their family.

Kate and Prince William were last seen on Friday, when they celebrated the 75th anniversary of VE Day by taking part in video call with veterans at a care home.

As they asked the veterans Charles and Jean how they were celebrating the milestone anniversary, Kate added: “Do you both remember VE Day?”

Jean replied: “I can remember the street party, the whole of the street joined into one big table.”

Charles responded: “We were in Greece at the time and I had to go round early in the morning with rum for all the men.”  

The Duke of Cambridge joked: “I bet you were the hero of the time, delivering rum out to everybody.”

He added: “It’s been a real pleasure to speak to you both.

“Enjoy today and just because we can’t be together everyone is still thinking of you today and are very proud of everything you’ve achieved.”

Kate and Prince William have been self-isolating with their children at their Norfolk residence.

During a solo interview with This Morning last week, Kate opened up on her experience with homeschooling.

She said: “George gets very upset because he just wants to do all of Charlotte’s projects.

“Spider sandwiches are far cooler than literacy work.”
