We at HistoryColored have decided to curate 50 interesting, rare and iconic photos from history. There are many reasons why a photograph may be featured on this list. Some of the reasons include: it was the first time something was ever captured on camera, it shows a famous figure from history, the image depicts an important historical event, it is a “rare” photo that does not get shared as much as it should, or it is an “iconic” historical photo. It may not fall under any of these categories but can still be featured in this list for a different reason.
These photographs are in no particular order. They have been curated and added to the list over a long period of time, so no decision was taken on how they should be ordered. Be sure to take the time to check out every historical photograph featured on this list!

An Epistle of Solace

Regards from a Royal Fan.
Kate sent a special thank you to one lucky royal fan. Following the Princess of Wales’ operation, the fan sent love and well wishes, and Kensington Palace responded with a lovely note. It was a heartfelt moment that showed how grateful Kate was to her fans.

The Anchors of Family
Although the royal family has offered assistance, Kate’s parents and siblings have been her real pillars of support throughout her difficult journey. Every step of the journey, they have shown her love and support. Kate is so grateful for the love and support of the Middleton family during this difficult time.

A Prospective Comeback to Public Life
It’s possible that Kate will return to the public eye earlier than anticipated. Even though she had prophylactic chemotherapy, a royal specialist says she might go to some occasions if she feels well enough. Even if a full-scale return to royal duties might still be some way off, everyone would find optimism if Kate appeared this summer.
