According to the Daily Mail, sources have said that the photograph was taken by Jason Bell in March this year. Jason Bell took the official christening photographs last year and also took the official photograph of the family that was released for Mother's Day this year.

It was commissioned by the couple to send as a 'thank you' to people involved with their then forthcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand. This custom is common with other members of the Royal Family as they often send photographs of themselves as gifts to members of the public.
Although it is unknown who the gift was sent to, Hot Monarchy are asking for people to let them know if they find out who the source is!

As you can see the photo frame has the couples cypher embossed into it at the top and underneath the photograph are the couple's signatures.
It is not the first time we have see a photo frame like this. Last year, when the Duchess released her first video message, on the table next to her was an official photograph from the couple's wedding. If you look closely you can see that the photo frame has the couples cypher at the top too. The frames are very similar and are clearly a popular choice for the couple.
"I can confirm it is a photo the Duke and Duchess used as official gifts on their tour to New Zealand and Australia. It was taken by Jason Bell before the tour."
In the photograph the Duchess is wearing her Rebecca Taylor navy tweed suit which she first wore in April 2012 and repeated during the tour of New Zealand. Rebecca Taylor is a New Zealand-born designer, which makes the outfit choice very appropriate for this particular gift.
The Duchess also appears to be wearing her Annoushka Favourites Pearl Drop Earrings which retail at £1,090.
