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

Crikey! That's awful.

I’m amazed that Tatler thought it good enough to put on their cover.

I really don't like it. In fact I think it is awful

It looks more like Meghan to me! sorry!

The eyes are all wrong.

They must have a bit of a laugh, the royals, looking at some of these paintings.

Awful! Was she paid?

Horrendous- does not look like her at all, totally expressionless.

very poor... no likeness or painterly qualities

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

Younger son got an A in GSCE art and was brilliant. He could actually draw people and it looked like them!

It's like a badly drawn doll!

No, there is no expression, like a wax work

Who is it supposed to be? Dear oh dear.

A portrait takes a great deal of preparation :

It's important to do several sketches to capture the likeness and spirit of the sitter .
Colour studies are vital too .
This portrait is absolutely appalling - too flat and lacking any dimension , poor interpretation of colour - it's nothing like her and it doesn't capture her essence or mood in any way .
I can only identify her by the presence of her tiara and gown , which could be applied to other Royal female .

There are many superb portrait artists out there including a member of my family !
I don't consider myself a good portrait painter - still life is my preferred subject , but I think that even I could do a better job !

Goodness, that’s appallingly bad.

Looks nothing like her.

Hideous!

I agree. It’s dreadful. So it only took two or three days to paint - perhaps, if there is a next time, take rather longer.

No, I think it's awful.

Wouldn’t have recognised her, apart from the outfit and tiara.

No, it’s amateurish and frankly awful!
