Kate Middleton’s new portrait kicks up a row

A new portrait of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has kicked up a row with public opinion sharply divided as some taking umbrage to it while others see nothing particularly untoward about it.

The Princess of Wales, of late, has faced serious health issues and she’s been off from public-facing duties following her surgery.

According to a news report, “The portrait, painted by the British-Zambian artist Hannah Uzor and published on the cover of Tatler magazine’s July issue, depicts the princess wearing a floor-length Jenny Packham white dress with a blue ribbon wrapped around her that she wore to a state banquet in 2022.”

Born in Reading, she grew up in Bucklebury, Berkshire. She was educated at St Andrew’s School and Marlborough College before studying art history at the University of St Andrews in Scotland where she met Prince William in 2001. She held several jobs in retail and marketing and pursued charity work before their engagement was announced in November 2010. They married on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey; she became Duchess of Cambridge. The couple have three children: George, Charlotte, and Louis.
