Here is the first official portrait of William and Kate. On display at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge

William and Kate, Dukes of Cambridge, have been immortalized in their first official portrait, side by side. The painting was by award-winning British portraitist Jamie Coreth, commissioned by the Cambridgeshire Royal Portrait Fund. Now the painting is on display at Cambridge University’s Fitzwilliam Museum, where Prince William and Kate visited for the unveiling of the work.

“It was a surreal and extraordinary experience to portray the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,” the artist wrote in a post. “It was the greatest privilege of my life to be chosen to create this painting.” He added, "I wanted to show Their Royal Highnesses in a way in which they appeared relaxed and easygoing, as well as elegant and dignified. Since this is the first portrait to depict them together, and particularly as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I wanted the image to evoke a sense of balance between their public and private lives."

Kate wears in the portrait theemerald dress by The Vampire’s Wife brand that she wore on a trip to Dublin in 2020; on her feet is a pair of sandals in the same color by Manolo Blahnik, model Hangisi. The jewelry belonged instead to Princess Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge, and Diana. William wears a dark suit with a blue tie. The background echoes the color of Cambridge’s historic buildings
