Another, Belle, added: "How exciting! Looking forward to seeing the finalists - congratulations to the Duchess on a hugely successful project!"
A third, Els Barneveld, said: "This Dutch nurse can't wait to see this amazing project."
The Hold Still contest was launched at the height of the pandemic by Kate in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, one of the Duchess' patronages.
The aim of the Duchess’ project was to "create a unique photographic portrait which captures the spirit, mood, hopes, fears and feelings of the nation as we continue to deal with the coronavirus outbreak", as stated upon the launch of the contest.
Everyone across the whole country has been invited to take part in this project, no matter their photography skill.
Participants were asked to submit pictures related to the following themes: helpers and heroes; the new normal; act of kindness.
Among those who took part in this royal contest there has been even a senior member of the Royal Family, Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
In June, Prince Edward's wife submitted an image she took on her phone while she was volunteering at the Shah Jahan Mosque in Woking, Surrey.
Sophie's snap portrayed one of her fellow volunteers preparing care packages and food deliveries for NHS workers.
Calling the royal's picture "packed with love", a spokesperson for the Countess said the snap wanted to be "a tribute to all of the volunteers she has met over recent weeks who are working incredibly hard to help their local communities."
Kate has been particularly involved in the Hold Still project.
The Duchess of Cambridge didn't just spearhead the contest, but was also spotted leaving comments on Instagram under some of the snaps submitted.
Under a picture showing a child looking quite tired after hours of homeschooling, Kate wrote: "My children will very much relate to this!"
The Duchess also commented a lovely snap taken by four-year-old Coni depicting her mum cutting her husband's hair.
She wrote on Instagram: "I love this! What a budding photographer!"
