Photographs and videos are a great way to document memory and happenings. Although there are times when it feels like taking these pictures might be too much for those who are always in front of the camera.

In a chat with Ceri Edwards, one of the participants and finalists of the Hold Still Project, Kate Middleton shared a bit of information about her children when she attempts to take their pictures sometimes.

The mothers talked about Edwards' winning entry which featured her daughter Poppy hugging her father, who was a paramedic. The duchess expressed that the image was such a powerful one as it was touching.

"It's like me. "Everyone's like, 'Mummy, please stop taking photographs!"

Edwards agreed with her and said she experienced the same thing sometimes with her family, but despite their reluctance, she loves it and enjoys looking back to see how much the kids have grown.

Edwards' daughter Poppy also jumped on the call with the duchess. Kate told the adorable girl that she loved seeing her big cuddle with her dad Mike.

She further revealed that cuddles were "very, very important," and she was certain Poppy's dad took that with him every time he went to work such that it helped him through the day. Poppy politely replied saying:

"Thank You. I was scared he would get the Corona."
