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.

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.

Don’t pay the woman, she did not do the job! I don’t know who she painted, but I do know that it wasn’t our elegant and absolutely beautiful Princess Catherine.

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

I have a degree in art and did Art Therapy with children in the mental hospital for years. This portrait demonstrates to me the lack of basic skills of the artist, as well as some deliberate passive aggressive behaviors. Giving this to a woman who is battling cancer is a bold slap in the face. SMH. The artist has some issues that need to be explored with a counselor. Back away from that paint brush.

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

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.

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…a whole different world and lifetime away. Sorry!! I’ve said too much…I got lost in my own memories. I miss them both 😔

Wow River! How do you have such an impressive and vast vocabulary?!?! Your choice of words and the way you articulate is an art. Truly. You are a gem.

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 😍

I actually thought that Catherine's face (on Tatler's cover) looked more like the Danish Queen Mary than Catherine herself.

It was a wonderful occasion, never to be forgotten.

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.

So sorry to the artist, but I think this rendition of the beautiful Catherine is totally off the mark. Her own mother won’t see any resemblance to the child she gave birth to! 🌷

Thank goodness this wasn’t an official portrait. It is a little silly and not very much like the princess.

Unfortunately, Princess Catherine's painting looks like a school poster, meant to advertise some student activity. I don't know how anyone could think it'[s acceptible.

The portrait of Catherine has no soul, no beauty, no grace. It not only doesn't look like her, but also it does not feel like her.

doesn't look anything like the princess. did a child draw it?

USA here and I so agree with you. I love Nigel and wish him back in the political arena soon.

THE PAINTING OF CATHERINE IS GHASTLY….it is clearly a copy of a photo of MM from Nigeria, saw them side by side today on another vlog. LOVE the painting of the King, his very Scorpio face and eyes have been perfectly captured.

Are we looking at the same picture of the king? It is a horrible piece of crap!

The artist has denied how important Catherine is to us. There is so much to worry about, so much to use our critical analysis on, and along comes Catherine: Good, beautiful, and someone who tries to uphold her family and duty to all of us. She’s not a joyless, plain woman with a tight sneer. We don’t want to see her reduced, whatever the layers of “being in a garden and water”.

Zara looked absolutely gorgeous! My niece is attending a royal garden party in a few weeks (in Edinburgh) to receive her Gold Duke of Edinburgh award from Prince Edward. She can't wait 😊

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.

I agree with you, Bullirish, King Charles II portrait is ART, The Princess of Wales’ is a statement of some kind--Disrespect for the Monarchy mixed with envy of the Princess? Hatred of England mixed with envy of the Princess? Disdain for England and the Monarchy mixed with envy of the Princess? This portrait may affect the artist’s reputation; who will want her to paint another one?

I hope you're having a lovely holiday River, rummaging around some dusty old vintage shop in a leafy lane or seaside alley. Hope you're back soon looking fabulous and showing off your treasures!

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.
