Di's favourite snapper to coache Kate Middleton

London, Jan 21 : Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton will be given a few pointers in the art of photography by none other than his mother's favourite photog Mario Testino.

William has arranged for Testino to give his ladylove a series of sessions. According to sources, the 26-year old Middleton met Testino in November last year, and is set to return to his studio in March.

A close pal revealed that she was 'very excited' about working with the Testino, who took the iconic Vogue cover shots of Diana.

"Kate's very excited. She's itching to get her teeth into a new career and says William's been fantastically supportive," The Sun quoted the pal, as saying.

Middleton, who quit her job as a buyer for fashion chain Jigsaw in October, is said to be extremely enthusiastic about making photography a career.
