Not a fan.  Don't care for their pose.

It's an unnatural pose.  Kate looks wistful, almost sullen.  It's unfortunate that it doesn't capture her warm, winning smile.  William looks fine, but again, rather stiff.  Wonder who or what they were looking at?

The portrait is beautiful -- I like the expressions on the their faces.  Will looks very tall and Cate's dress is lovely especially the color and I like how shadows emphasized the dress.  They really make a lovely couple.  The one thing I don't agree with is that the Queen made Charles next in line and Camilla would be Queen.  After the scandal with Diana, I believe Charles should step down and Will would be next in line.  Will would bring fresh, new ideas from the throne.  I, for one, would not look forward with Charles being King and I believe a lot of people feel like me.

Kate's photography skills certainly depict them much better than this portrait artist who, I am sure, did it from a photograph and not a sitting.  I don't think, however, he captured the real essence of Kate.

Stunning!  Kate always look so beautiful and appropriate.

I don't think this portrait captures Kate's vitality. It also makes her bustline look larger and saggier than the photo it is based on. She just loooks off. Will looks wonderful.

I wonder what is the brooch Kate is wearing?

I love the portrait. It's not supposed to look like a casual snapshot.

I love the portrait.

Dignified, stately, royal, the portrait is a tribute to a lovely couple.  Kate and William give class and graciousness to the monarchy.
