Kate Middleton's favourite camera brand is having a huge flash sale this Amazon Prime Day

Kate Middleton is often seen with a camera in her hand, with the Duchess of Cambridge known to be the photographer within the royal family.

She of course ran the Hold Still photography competition over lockdown and is personally responsible for some of the royal family's most iconic snaps, even taking her children's official portraits.

Kate owns two Canon cameras, with the brand thought to be her favourite - and as luck would have it, they're having a huge flash sale this Amazon Prime Day.
