The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge viewed their official joint painted portrait a master piece of artwork during a visit in the University of Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridgeshire, a country in the heart of Cambridge.
The idea of creating the portrait was originated by the Lady Sibyl Marshall, the wife of the late Sir Michael Marshall.
The artwork was hand painted by award winning British portrait artist "Jamie Coreth" and presented as a gift to Cambridgeshire. Coreth shared his excitement,
"It has been the most extraordinary privilege of my life to be chosen to paint this picture, I wanted to show Their Royal Highnesses in a manner where they appeared both relaxed and approachable, as well as elegant and dignified."
"As it is the first portrait to depict them together, and specifically during their time as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I wanted the image to evoke a feeling of balance between their public and private lives. The piece was commissioned as a gift for the people of Cambridgeshire, and I hope they will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed creating it,"
After visiting their portrait the couple participated in the first ever Cambridgeshire County Day at the July Racecourse which was comprised of 120 exhibitors from different field of life. The County Day will also celebrate The Platinum Jubilee year of Her Majesty The Queen.
The choirs, bands and dancers from charity and volunteers will showcase their performances. Prince William and Kate will also appreciates the invocations in medicine & science projects.
Delighted to see this new portrait unveiled at the @FitzMuseum_UK in Cambridge today!
