The Duke and Duchess are in Cambridgeshire today. They started their day at the University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum, where a new portrait of them was unveiled.
It is their first official joint portrait.
The portrait, painted by award-winning British portrait artist Jamie Coreth, has gone on display at the University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum.
The artwork of Prince William and Catherine was commissioned last year by the Cambridgeshire Royal Portrait Fund as a gift to the people of the county.
Coreth said creating it was “the most extraordinary privilege of my life”.
Coreth said he wanted to portray the royal couple as “both relaxed and approachable, as well as elegant and dignified”.
He said: “As it is the first portrait to depict them together, and specifically during their time as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I wanted the image to evoke a feeling of balance between their public and private lives.”
