這些照片拍攝了云霧繚繞的基納巴盧山——婆羅洲最高峰，海拔13400英尺——和黑猩猩的黑白照片。

They received praise from Royal photographer Hugo Rittson Thomas, who said Kate could have had a career in photography if circumstances had been different.

這些照片受到了皇家攝影師雨果•瑞特森•托馬斯的贊揚，他說，如果凱特沒有當(dāng)王妃，那她本來可以在攝影上有所作為。

But others commented it was further evidence of the couple's attempts to carefully control all aspects of their public life.

但是其他人則認(rèn)為，這進一步證明這對夫婦在小心謹(jǐn)慎地打造自己的公眾形象。
