He, who has already painted Princess Anne, told the magazine about his work People “It was the most extraordinary privilege of my life to be chosen to paint this picture. I wanted to show their royal majesties in a way that made them seem both relaxed and approachable and elegant and dignified.” “As this is their first portrait together, and as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I wanted the image to create a sense of balance between their public and private lives.

As for the husband, he is wearing a black suit with a blue tie. Both take a position, one hand behind the other, eyes turned in the same direction.
