After submitting the intimate snap, which shows the mother-of-one holding the iconic image that was taken in 2010 by photographer David Dawson, Kate said: 'Lucian was an inspiration to me; he had a passion for life and art that will always stay with me.'
Birmingham-born model Erin O'Connor, 37, chose Save the Children doctor Shella Duggal, who she met on a trip to India.
'Dr Duggal works hard to help save the lives of children who are suffering from chronic malnutrition, administrating vital lifesaving medicine and advice to families,' she said.
'She is a remarkable woman who is changing lives within her community every single day. I'm supporting action/2015 because I want 2015 to be the year that world leaders commit to eradicating global poverty and preventing needless child deaths from malnutrition.'
Naomie Harris, 39, choose the Dalai Lama for his 'unwavering commitment to peace and equality for all people'.
She said: 'The idea of collectively being responsible for the well-being of each other – neighbours and strangers alike - is a real inspiration to me and the way I live my life. This year, we all have the opportunity to support this ambition through #action/2015 – let's make it count.'

The launch of #MyModelCitizen comes less than a month before the UN Summit in New York when the new Global Goals will be set, aiming to tackle the biggest issues of our time: poverty, inequality and climate change.
action/2015 is a growing citizens' movement working to ensure that leaders set and fund the ambitious Global Goals and deliver on their promises to tackle the world's biggest problems – and do something truly transformative for people and planet.

'I recently visited Kibera and was amazed to see the impact that frontline workers like Monique have on a daily basis - not only on the individuals who rely on them for medical attention but on entire communities. I'm supporting action/2015 because I believe in the power of people to make the world we live in a better place.'
Actor Tamsin Egerton chose Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai for her 'bravery and wisdom'.
'She's someone I truly admire and follow,' the 26-year-old said. 'She is changing the lives of children, men and women around the world by challenging inequalities and advocating education for all – and has become a symbol of hope and courage.
'Last year Malala spoke out on behalf of action/2015, calling on world leaders to make this the year they deliver on promises to change the world for the better. I'm honoured to be adding my voice to this global movement.'
