The decision has prompted fresh debate about how she will cope as a future member of the Royal Family amid claims that courtiers are trying to suppress her independence.
Close sources say that, although she has picked out the work she wants to exhibit, including pictures of a hazy sunset and a wild seascape, the project has been put on hold.
“It’s very much still an aspiration of hers but it’s been put on the back burner. If it ever happens, it may be long after the autumn,” said one friend. “She is working full-time as a website photographer for her family’s online and catalogue party business, Party Pieces, and she’s just not got around to it.”

Kate & Wills August Wedding at Westminster Abbey? Posted by BRW on August 28th, 2010 at 2:36 am
She has waited patiently for more than seven years for Prince William to pop the question. But could Kate Middleton’s long apprenticeship as a royal bride be finally coming to an end?
According to well-placed sources, royal aides have made ‘discreet overtures’ to senior personnel at Westminster Abbey to hold a wedding there on the second weekend in August next year.
Although nothing has been set in stone, talks are sufficiently advanced for the issue to have been raised when the Queen and Prince Philip visited the Abbey on an official engagement in May, insiders say.
A St James’s Palace spokesman said last night: ‘The only people with knowledge about any future plans they may or may not have are Prince William and Kate Middleton. We are not aware of any enquiries being made.’

William & Kate – June 2011 Wedding? Posted by BRW on August 10th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
The Daily Star reports that Prince William & Kate Middleton are ready to tie the knot. They are tipping an engagement announcement in November and a June 2011 wedding…
31 Comments »The date for the marriage could also deflect attention away from the 30th anniversary of Charles and Diana’s doomed union on July 29. And it would also coincide with Prince Philip’s 90th birthday on June 10, giving William’s grandad a perfect present.
St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle has been mooted as the venue for the ceremony.
Princess Diana’s biographer Tina Brown suggested earlier in the year that the wedding would announced in June this year.
She said: “A wedding would probably follow in November.” But it is now thought that her sources had mixed up the dates and the timing, with the announcement in November and the wedding the following June.
If so, it is likely there would be a dress rehearsal on Friday June 3 and the ceremony on Saturday June 4.

Prince William & Kate Middleton Distant Cousins Posted by BRW on August 3rd, 2010 at 5:00 am
A dark and deliciously murky secret hovers over the continuing relationship between Prince William and his girlfriend Kate Middleton - a skeleton so large that even a vast royal closet would struggle to contain it.
For the Mail can reveal that William and Kate are distant cousins. The man who links William and Kate as kith and kin is Sir Thomas Leighton, an Elizabethan soldier, diplomat and, for 40 years, the cut-throat Governor of Guernsey.
He is William’s 12th generation great-grandparent, and Kate’s 11th, making them 12th cousins, once removed…
