New Portrait of Duchess of Cambridge

Artist Norren Denzil took issue with the official portrait of The Duchess of Cambridge that was released earlier this year, and decided to take matters into her own hands.

Denzil painted a new portrait of Kate, this time focusing on ensuring that Kate's warmth and charm came through. While The Duchess certainly looks more cheerful in this portrait, I'm not certain that I like it any better than the original - as this one seems to have aged The Duchess by at least 10 years. {It looks a bit like a caricature, in my opinion.}

The artist hopes to sell the portrait for £2,000, with proceeds going to a charity of Kate's choice.
