Kate Middleton Official Portrait Unveiled
The first official portrait of Catherine, the Duchess of
Cambridge, has been unveiled at London's National Portrait Gallery -- but has
met with a mixed reaction from art critics and the public.
Award-winning artist Paul Emsley, who spent three-and-a-half
months painting the Duchess's likeness, said he had tried to portray her warmth
and personality in the picture.
"The Duchess explained that she would like to be
portrayed naturally -- her natural self -- as opposed to her official
self," he said in a video posted on the gallery's website.
