Do you like the new portrait of the princess of Wales?

It captures none of her charm and elegance!

Maybe the artist has captured the real 'her'. I, like most other people, have never actually seen her in the flesh and have only seen the photos that we have been allowed to see.

Really, the artist has no visual perception of what this beautiful woman looks like. She's made her look like a Wooden doll, with no character, not the beautiful women you see on TV. Whoever and why they gave this so called artist the job, well its beyond me.

What on earth has happened to the decent artists?
The poor lass looks Chinese!
And flat!

I've had a closer look as well. It is more detailed and more realistic than it appears at first. But I also wonder if the mask-like appearance is quite deliberate. The artist never met her, painted from photographs and has produced the image that is projected to the public. It isn't the person. It's a princess. Few know the person, although many seem to think they do

Glorianny There is little or no likeness there. The proportions of the face are wrong and the hands are badly painted as well

I think this is probably one of the photos she used. There is a resemblance.
The hands are not badly painted. They are positioned possibly to display the ring and to give the impression of control. The ringhand holding back the other.

It's as grotesque as the one of Charles! I'm no great royal fan but Catherine is a really beautiful lady and very gracious etc. even in her own ''off duty'' clothes, and that portrait makes her face look alien-like!

Plastic is the word I think of when I look at it. Imagine having to wonder if your portrait depends on whether or not the artist is interested in you.
The image of the Princess of Wales projected to the public is from the photographs we see of her. The painting isn’t even a good likeness from those.

On looking through the artists website I feel we are not giving her the credit she is due. The portraits on there are fine and detailed showing character and personality.

Unfortunately this one only shows the artists character, it looks flat and devoid of life because Ms Uzor is not interested in the sitter.

As I understand it the artist had no live sittings, but completed this portrait entirely from photographs, so in painting this portrait she hadn't seen he other than in photos either.

I wouldn’t have known who she was but then I probably wouldn’t anyway. It looks a bit wooden.

Interestingly, I have gone to the original on re front of The Tatler and enlarged it on my screen. It does seem more of a likeness to the Princess then.... and is actually very detailed.

I've just had another look.

It's definitely a paint by numbers.

I didnt like the portrait of Charles but this is a new level of awfulness.

I don't think I'd have recognised that it was meant to be the Princess of Wales. It looks like GCSE art coursework.

My Grandson GCE art work was much better than this. That's a bit of a insult to hard working students who put their all into their course work. unlike this person whose work looks like a paint by numbers effort, badly done.

Than, not then.
My damn fingers.

Terrible portrait on the left ! It is disgraceful. Does not even look like her.

The photo on the right is beautiful. I have seen it before.

Maybe.
I'm no artist, though!
Possibly older faces could be easier then young?
More craggy and saggy.

Theres an absolutely awful portrait of the late queen hanging on Buckingham palace.

One of the family favourites, apparently.

She has only three fingers on one hand, and it all sorts of other issues.

There is a horrible one of Catherine at the Fitzwilliam (no need to leave our home county), Prince or Wales looks fine in the portrait. Perhaps the men's faces are easier to paint well?

Think what was said when it was announced she had surgery and would not return to public duties until after Easter.

She was too thin. Her husband was having an affair. She was having plastic surgery. We have a right to know what surgery.

This portrait, which is not the best depiction, adds to all the questions. I'd assume she prefers staying at home to returning to public scrutiny.

It looks like a very cheap 'painting-by-numbers' creation and I do wonder the painter actually attended art school.

The artist is a talented painter. Here's a link to her work.https://hannahuzor.com/ Her sketch book items show she can really draw

It doesn't follow that all her work is of the highest standard. Look at any artists work, whether they are painters, sculptures, poets or writers, or any other form of creative. Some of their work will be superb, some of it mediocre and some of it just bad.

This is one of this artist's Grade E works.
