      It is a thinly disguised attempt at blackface because of the whiteness highlighted underneath of her eyes. Take a much closer look at the magazine cover. In another words, it was meant to be a racist insult toward the Princess because of an earlier alledged question she had about the color of Meghan's unborn child.

      The person who painted it - is simply not a competent artist. It is truly dreadful. It is flat, badly drawn, the brush work is appalling, the composition is hopeless.
      It doesn't have to be a facsimile of the subject, but it has to capture their personality or convey a particular idea. It is a facile daub.

This is Meghan looking in the mirror and saying "Yes, see, I am the most beautiful in the land". May be this is the equivalent of giving Catherine a poisoned apple, persuading a "sister" to paint an unflattering image??

      I tend to agree with you regarding the lack of skill. To my mind the body is too long with such a small head. It looks like the subject is 8ft tall with a tiny head and face. And the face is oriental-looking, with slanted eyes. Absolutely a flop of the first water!

      Poor Catherine can’t catch a break that portrait that was painted over her makes her look like she’s 105 and not even what she would look like at 105 because she’s absolutely stunning and she would be stunning then as well she looks like a old fuddy-duddy. It’s strange and looks intentional I do feel horrible for the artist because I don’t think she did anything with malice or intent and she was probably extremely proud of what she put out so I do want to say that

The head is too small for this body, the whole thing is a mess. I read this artist is anti-Monarchy? If true that would explain it.

    If it's the artist's impression then it's not a portrait. A portrait should capture a true likeness. This painting does not, neck too short, shoulders hunched, face unrecognisable, it simply does not "portray" the beauty, elegance and graceful deportment of the Princess of Wales

      Well, you only have to take a look at the artist's collection called "Long Live the Queen" to see that she's not a fan of the BRF. It's a collection of portraits she painted of people who died in "race-related deaths in the UK since the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953." My take away is that she doesn't like the BRF at all and that she believes that the late Queen was at fault for these deaths. She is a wokie.

    Even though The Princess of Wales has many wonderful qualities more important than beauty, it cannot be denied that she is one of the most beautiful Royals that have ever existed, and her portrait should have reflected that! If the artist doesn’t like a realistic painting of beauty, an Impressionistic painting in the style of John Singer Sargent could easily have been as beautiful as the Princess. This painting of a beautiful woman is ABSURD. She cannot even be recognized.

It's a collection of portraits she painted of people killed in "race-related deaths since Elizabeth II's coronation." Wow! So she's insinuating that the late Queen must have been a R*cist who had something to do with those deaths? I mean, that's what I took away from it.

    Oh I used to love when the queen was still able to be astride her steed for the trooping of the colour sitting side saddle and looking so regal and beautiful in her natural authority and regality and the way she handled her mount with such an incredible ease and grace
it’s amazing how much she truly was such a huge part of my whole life that I kind of took her for granted in as much as it just seemed like she would always be there so that when she was taken the loss was all the more viscerally noticeable by her absence!! She truly was such an incredible woman, regardless of what anyone thought about anything else, you just couldn’t and can’t ever take it away from her the wholehearted and complete total, LIFELONG service that she gave of herself, many times at the expense of her own personal family relationships
she always put her country first, and did not falter even once (that I can ever recall anyway!!) I always remember the fact that the year of her enthronement Maria Callas, who I am absolutely possessed by, debuted at Covent Garden in Norma, 1952!! And during her last performances at Covent Garden as Tosca the queen and the queen mother attended her last performance, 1965
my Lord, that was when they REALLY were doing the whole glamour dressing!! The footage of the queen and her mother both arriving and going their royal box was just so spectacular
sigh

    Hi River, another great video..thank you. I was invited to a Garden party a few years ago at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, and it was utterly lovely. Scotland's weather was kind to us on the day I attended, with not a midge in sight, and a truly magical setting. The garden at Holyrood made the event feel intimate under the imposing Salisbury Crags and even though there were thousands of attendees it was all very pleasant with a lovely buzz of excitement. We all managed to get a glimpse of the late Queen and Prince Philip, listened to lovely music, drank Elderflower cordial with lots of pretty things in it, ate delicate sandwiches etc and had a thoroughly beautiful afternoon. My lasting memory is of the Company of Archers who protect the Monarch, the genteel civility of the tradition of giving something of enjoyment to so many people, and of the gorgeous setting on a truly gorgeous afternoon... I love the heart of our country so much, its traditions and gentleness that remain steadfast, will hopefully never be dulled by the changes happening outwardly. Our core is mirrored in these events so whatever is flung at us as a Nation, and however people might try to dismantle and shame us, we know who we are, and our worth. Love your channel 😍

    As an artist I commented on the King's portrait and loved it. But I'm sorry no matter how hard I try I can't find it in my heart to like Princess Catherine portrait. If I'd been commissioned to do portrait and handed over something like that, I wouldn't have got paid.

    The portrait has Meghan’s jawline, and Meghan’s waistline. I understand trying to understand the artist’s interpretation but I still don’t like it.

      The first time I saw the image I thought they were portraying Queen Mary of Denmark. On second look it also looks like an amalgamation of Catherine and Meghan. Either way, Hannah Urzo did not do a very good likeness of Catherine. Tatler should have done better.
      I disagree with River - in that I believe a portrait should be realistic and recognizable. The only way you’d know it was Catherine was the headline.

    The POW painting truly looks like a junior high art project from a child practicing how to paint people. It obviously looks nothing like Catherine and I am surprised it was unveiled as some kind of true art work. For an adult to paint this and share with the world, I would be embarrassed personally.

    You should see Ralph Heimans’ portraits of royalty. He’s a Sydneysider originally who painted the late Queen in the Coronation Theatre of Westminster Abbey. Now that man actually learned to draw and to paint, imagine! He can actually draw and paint! See the paintings for yourself online they are incredible.

    Heather from Australia here. My husband and I attended a garden party way back. My husband stood next to a Beefeater and they had a great conversation about whiskey. Prince Charles came along and told my husband to get his feet behind the line. We weren’t sure if he was joking or not. Princess Diana then walked past and I wished her a happy 30th birthday. She replied “the least said about that the better”. I don’t think she was joking. It was a lovely day.
