Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first official portrait released

Doesn't do it for me.

I had to look closely to see if it was a photo or paining. While i think it's very good, I would like to see something a bit more artistic, if that makes sense.

Look at this lovely painting by a Canadian artist of Kate.

I think it’s lovely overall. The colour of her dress is very beautiful and the style seems fine but the sheen on the fabric isn’t the best.

Amazing , as it is painted , a talented artist for sure .
I like it . Does anyone know what size Kate is , she is very slim.

What a great photo of a lovely couple. ?

She wore the dress in Ireland a few years ago, apparently

It’s a flattering likeness to Katherine, but I am not so sure about William. It is something about his head,
and the way he is standing. But it could just be me.

It's horrible.
They're a young couple, the face of the future monarchy.

It looks old and stuffy.

I think they both look nice, but it's almost like a photograph, rather than a painting.

I like it. Does look like a photograph though.

It's really not to my taste.

I don’t much care for it, Williams head looks like a potato and it is strangely small at the top, funny angle and he looks like he is smirking because he’s smelt some flatulence.
They both look like cardboard cutouts.
I’d love to see something a bit looser like the style of John Singer Sargent (obviously he is dead but a modern version). Saw a lovely exhibition of his at the Portrait Gallery with a visiting friend a few years ago.

Her face looks the best I’ve ever seen - looks more like a photograph than a painting - very contoured and very pretty?

I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Is it the shadowing on the dress fabric, satin or velvet, that looks a bit odd?
And this made me cringe, use it to encourage children and young people from the county, Cambridge, to take an interest in art.

I liked it until you mentioned the bust and now I can't stop noticing it.

I think it's lovely.
