I think the portrait captures her essential heifer-ness in its full insipid bovine majesty.

I can’t believe that a-hole artist forgot to put the Royal Halo around the Dutchess Royal head.

The portrait is truly awful. It makes her look 15 years older and 40 lbs. heavier. I’d be pissed if I was her.

I don’t care for the portrait,either. It does not come close to doing her justice.

Didn’t anyone see how smokin’ hot water balloon guy was? Can’t believe anyone would be talking about the dutchess after seeing hat.

Yikes, is the Duchess of Cambridge really that mannish?

It’s an awesome portrait! TRUST ME.. as someone who was decent looking as a young person, it’s kind of a bummer to compare myself to pictures from 30 years ago. She will almost certainly ALWAYS look better than that thing! WIN!
