LONDON – The first ‘official’ portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge has been unveiled in London — but not everyone has warmed to it immediately.
Many viewers of the
brand new painting of Kate Middleton — unveiled Friday (Jan. 11) — say they feel it’s unflattering, making the Duchess look ‘matronly.’
The portrait features Kate’s flowing brunette locks and a demure, closed-lip smile. But the artist Paul Emsley also added bags and creases around her eyes, which to many make her look 10-15 years older than she is today.
Kate sat twice for the portrait, which took 3 1/2 months to create.
The portrait hangs at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

I just got paid $6784 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $9k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, Rich45.ℂOM

Geez, this woman looks like a man anyway. They are complaining about a painting of an already homely woman.

I think it makes her look older. Her skin is more pale, her hair looks like it has gray highlights, and her eyes look creepy.
