Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first official portrait released

I expect Catherine, if she reads this, might have her pinking shears out, ready and waiting ?

Did hear William say ‘oh it’s big’ when they saw it for first time!

Prince William does have that shape of face that shows on the portrait.It is his Hanoverian ancestry showing up very clearly.
Prince Edward as well.

I'm not too keen on the way William looks.

I must admit I think Catherines boobs look odd in the portrait. Looks like they're heading south before their time. lol.
As for the dress, I don't like it. It does nothing for her. The colour is OK but thats' it.

I don't like it but it's the dowdy background that is spoiling it!!!
They look great!

I'm not keen. Looks dreary to me and not flattering of William. His face looks odd. He's better looking than that. Yes the bust on her dress is not good.

Can anyone on here do better?
I KNOW I cant.

I think it's horrid!

What exactly is horrid about the painting?....or is it that you are just anti Royal?

They look as if they have pokers up their arses!

I think you'll probably notice that most of the "anti-Royals" as you refer to them have stayed off this thread because discussions about a picture of a rich woman in a green dress and her potato-headed husband don't really float our boats.

There goes yer damehood

At least William's face look like him - Catherine's looks more like Queens Letizia or Rania, in my expert opinion!

I really must get off my bum and get on with the many things I have to do, instead of musing on royal portraits!

Incorrect there volver.
Maddyone won't mind my quoting her comment, a perfectly nice painting, very good likenesses of them both.
Some posters can be impartial about the subject matter itself.

Luckygirl3 is right. They're standing so straight they're almost leaning backwards!

Sorry CanadianGran....I think this is dreadful - I thought a child had done it! (Look at this lovely painting by a Canadian artist of Kate.)
