英女王透過 Instagram 感謝大家在志願服務週（Volunteers Week）無私奉獻的同時， 劍橋公爵一家亦分享了一張新家庭照。這張照片正是由喜歡拍照以紀錄生活點滴的凱特王妃 Kate Middleton 所拍攝，當時正值今年4月，凱特一家前往由英國王室家庭私人持有、位於英格蘭諾福克郡的鄉郊別墅桑德靈厄姆府（Sandringham Estate），幫助打包及運送食物到當地的獨居並領養老金的人家中。

As we approach the end of #VolunteersWeek The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photo taken by The Duchess as they played their own part in the national volunteering effort. In April, The Duke and Duchess and their family visited the Sandringham Estate where they packed up and delivered food parcels to isolated pensioners in the local area. Today Her Majesty The Queen has sent a message to volunteers around the world — visit @TheRoyalFamily to read the message in full.

照片中威廉王子撐着傘，與喬治小王子、夏洛特小公主同行，三人的背影相當可愛。夏洛特小公主的穿著與她5歲生日時官方公佈的照片一樣，相信是同一天參加義工活動所拍。而對上一次喬治王子參加公開的慈善義工服務，是去年聖誕節期間，他與曾祖母英女王伊麗莎白二世、爺爺威爾斯親王、父親威廉王子，四代同堂參加由 The Royal British Legion 英國慈善團體發起的「Together at Christmas」活動，製作布丁送給英國軍人團聚慈善晚會。

做義工及參加慈善活動有助建立善待他人的價值觀，因此，無論是王室成員還是普羅大眾，都值得從小開始培養參加義工活動。
