first official portrait of Duchess of Cambridge - er…?

[Blackpuddin]

Hooter completely wrong, surely?

[Puggit]

Is that one of those FBI pics to make her look 20 years older?

Has she been kidnapped?

[P-Jay]

It's like one of those pic they put out to show kidnap victims 15 years later, she looks about 45.

and for the love of god, paint her arse before the baby destroys her body, it's her best feature!

[MK4 Slowride]

Ohh dear, I'd imagine she'll be none to happy with that. It makes her look a bit gaunt/old.

[Mr_B]

The left eye looks a bit odd. Heavy night out or smacked about a bit. As said about 10 - 15 years older looking than she is.

[Blackpuddin]

Artist said he 'likes big faces', which apparently means he gives you one even if you haven't got one to start with.

[TTwiggy]

That picture aside, I always think that both the Middleton sisters look much older than they actually are.

[mrmr96]

It's pretty awful, isn't it?

[XCP]

That's painting I guess. If you want a mugshot, take a photo.

[Einion Yrth]

I'd suggest the 'artist' is quite fortunate that summary beheading tends to be frowned upon these days.

The eyes seem wrong to me

One looks bigger than the other.

Apparently she's described it as "amazing".

Amazing what I don't know.

[thinfourth2]

Did she stick her head in a colour photocopier?

[Regiment]

They won't have to update the picture in 30 years time as she already looks 60 in it

[Sway]

I suppose this is inevitable when you sit for a portrait whilst in hospital for excessive vomiting...

Made her look ten years older, but she really can't publicly state 'well it's a but st isn't it painter boy' now can she.

Hence the very easily interpreted 'it's amazing...' ly st you horrible person.

Perhaps it looks better full size with a bit of light on it. Not good in the small image though.

[GTDNB]

dreadful. she appears to need a shave too.

You may be right

It does look better in the bigger picture. But that's like saying North Korea is better than Nigeria as a place to live.
