Kate Middleton’s First Official Portrait

The Duchess of Cambridge's first official royal portrait was unveiled Friday morning at London's National Portrait Gallery, and though she seems to be happy with the final result, reviews of the painting have been decidedly mixed. 

 

 "It looks like Paul Emsley was going for an 'old masters' look with this painting. She has a half-smile, a Mona Lisa smile, which is very mysterious—like she has a secret," Robin Cembalest, executive editor of ARTNews, told Yahoo! Shine. "As for the criticism, it's difficult to paint a portrait everyone will like of someone so incredibly famous."
