The official portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge was unveiled Friday. The Duke and Duchess – aka William and Kate – visited the National Portrait Gallery to view the painting. "I thought it was brilliant," Kate said of the rendering. William also expressed his admiration, saying it was “absolutely beautiful.” The painting was created by artist Paul Emsley. But not everyone shared the Royals’ enthusiasm for it. Art critics slammed the portrait, saying it looked nothing like the real Kate. Sunday Times art critic Waldemar Januszczak called the portrait “pretty ordinary... He made her look older than she is and her eyes don't sparkle in the way that they do and there's something rather dour about the face.”
