Kate Middleton was visible emotional as she explained why "harrowing" images of those on the NHS frontline are important to showcase at this time.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 39, appeared on This Morning today to launch ambitious project Hold Still, which will run for the next six weeks.
Brits have been asked to send in selfies and photos of their memories of the coronavirus pandemic for a national exhibition.
The project is being run in conjunction with the National Portrait gallery, which Kate has been a patron of since January 2012.
