The first official painting of the Duchess of Cambridge has been unveiled to mixed reviews from critics.

Paul Emsley's work took several months using a technique of building thin layers of oil and glazes on canvas.

The artist had two sittings with the duchess and also worked from a series of photographs he took.

Mr Emsley said she had expressed a desire to be portrayed as her natural self, rather than her official self.

The artist described his work as simple.



I'm afraid I don't particularly like it. My first thought was, "Wow, it makes her look so much older than she actually is...."

What do you think of it?

Makes her look like she's in her 40s or something.
