The couple’s portrait was commissioned in 2021 by the Cambridgeshire Royal Portrait Fund, held by the Cambridge Community Foundation, as a gift to Cambridgeshire. In the portrait, Prince William is seen in a dark suit, white shirt, and blue tie. On the other hand, Kate Middleton looks gorgeous in an emerald green dress from The Vampire’s Wife. After seeing the portrait, William remarked, “It’s quite big.”
About the opportunity to work on the special portrait, artist Jamie Coreth said, “It has been the most extraordinary privilege of my life to be chosen to paint this picture. I wanted to show Their Royal Highnesses in a manner where they appeared both relaxed and approachable, as well as elegant and dignified.”
“As it is the first portrait to depict them together, and specifically during their time as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I wanted the image to evoke a feeling of balance between their public and private lives. The piece was commissioned as a gift for the people of Cambridgeshire, and I hope they will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed creating it,” he added.
