The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honored in new joint portrait by award-winning artist Jamie Coreth

The The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made an official visit to Cambridgeshire today, where they went to the Fitzwilliam Museum together to witness the premiere of their first official portrait.

Introduced to commemorate the county, the work was originally proposed by the late Sir Michael Marshall – who was the President of Marshall of Cambridge – but was painted by award-winning British portrait artist Jamie Coreth.

It was commissioned by the Royal Cambridgeshire Portrait Foundation, chaired by the Cambridge Community Foundation and it is being viewed as a gift to the county of Cambridgeshire.

In the picture, the couple, both 40 years old, can be seen looking to the right, well dressed, with Kate Middleton wore a green lurex Vampire’s Wife midi dress, teamed with Manolo Blahnik heels, an outfit she wore in Dublin in 2020.

The couple holding hands looks very happy and comfortable.

The work will hang in Cambridge University’s Fitzwilliam Museum for at least three years and will be available to the public.

Upon viewing the painting at the premiere, William is said to have initially said: ‘It’s pretty big’, followed by congratulating artist Coreth, by saying it’s ‘awesome.’

When creating the work, Coreth said: it was ‘the most extraordinary privilege of my life to have been chosen to paint this picture.’

And that, ‘I wanted to present their Royal Family in such a way that they appeared both comfortable, approachable, elegant and dignified.’
