Controversial Kate Middleton painting stirs debate following King Charles portrait unveiling

Just a week after the unveiling of a painting of King Charles, a “portrait” of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, sparked intense debate among the British public. Because of its dominant red color.

The British artist Hannah Ozor painted the Princess of Wales two months after she revealed her cancer diagnosis, and the British magazine “Tatler” featured it on its cover in its July issue.

The British magazine claimed that Kate’s first official appearance under King Charles’s rule at Buckingham Palace in November 2022, where she later wore a dress by British designer Jenny Packham, a bracelet belonging to Queen Elizabeth II, and earrings belonging to Princess Diana, served as the inspiration for the “portrait.”.

Despite the magazine’s clarification, the British did not approve of the portrait; they questioned the resemblance between him and the British Princess, doubted that the picture belonged to her, and underlined that it did not at all resemble her. Others believed the picture would worsen Middleton’s psychological state because they only knew her from her dress.

After the campaign, artist Ozor defended her painting, claiming that she “tried to capture her spirit, not her features,” and that the Princess of Wales’s announcement of her cancer had “affected” her.

Stressing that “her painting made the princess look very royal and very confident,” she said that she drew numerous drawings to precisely catch her emotions and then decided to portray her in an outfit by designer Jenny.
