Created by Tom Sutton-Smith,an artist in Scotland, he wants to make a portrait of Kate that shows the Duchess' livelier side as opposed to the official portrait made by Paul Emsley which portrayed the Duchess in an older, sterner and darker way (literally, the background is black and the colors used are dark).
"In all the photos one sees of her, she is smiling and laughing Kate is the kind of sparkly and I was trying to convey that in the eyes and mouth. Those are the hard bits to get right,” Sutton-Smith said.
Apparently, the Duke and Duchess liked is to much that William even exclaimed, “Wow, it’s brilliant! That’s going up in my room.”
Well it's not everyday your portrait gets inside the private royal quarters. Good job!
