Shame they didn't let the Queens OH comment on it! I'm sure he would have told it like it is! |

On the News this morning, they said reaction has been mixed (as reflected here). And they said Kate thought the painting was "amazing". |

I think there is a problem with the eyes that detracts from her looks, there's definitely something 'missing' - her sparkle isn't captured but otherwise a fairly good likeness. |

I'm with Stray, her eyes do look a bit spooky. I think it is because the artist has put too much shadow in from her hair. To me one eye is a bit out of synch with the other. |

It lacks the vibrancy of youth, and "something else" that, at the moment, I just can't quite explain ....( ?) |

Haven't seen the photo it was copied fron that Rose mentioned. But can't help thinking she must have gone out with her mates in Holyhead and photo was taken in early hours :-) ;-) |

I've just seen it on the television. It's well done but it doesn't show that gorgeous smile or the sparkle in her eyes. Her face looks older and rounder. |

Well....you can see its Kate, l like it but there is something missing. l think its her eyes they make her look older, they are not as sparkly, also the cheek bones are'nt as showy!! |

That's the thing if you look at the photo he painted from it's a good likeness... that photo was not perhaps the most accurate...the camera does lie lol.... my passport photo taken when I was in my twenties made me look like a drug addict...the latest one 'does not do me justice' ( the lady at the post office said so lolol) . |

Wonder who the photo was of. She is a little bit like Kate, same age as her mother, but nowhere near as attractive as her mum. :-D |

It looks nothing like her at all!!!! Artist has completely missed her beauty. I think he has done a painting of someone else and there is a vague similarity to Kate so he has pretended it is of her. |

I think she looks really tired, especially around the eyes. Maybe she modelled for it while she was suffering from morning sickness! |
