Terry Neill is quoted on the BBC website as saying that he thinks the pictures are "absolutely charming". Give that man a knighthood!
It fits in with the informal style which the Cambridges have adopted and they are the sort of photos which would be taken by a proud grandparent. I can't help wonder about the muted colours, though. It looks to me as though the camera exposed for the background and left the subjects under exposed, exactly the sort of mistake someone without any real knowledge of photography would make. Unlike them, however, most people do not have access to someone with the appropriate Photoshop skills to retrieve the situation.
All that said, these pictures will be far more widely distributed and viewed than anything any of us are ever likely to take.
