Controversy Over New Portrait
A portrait of Princess Kate has ignited a storm of controversy amidst her ongoing battle with cancer. Commissioned by the British fashion magazine Tatler, the artwork by British-Zambian artist Hannah Uzor has not been well-received. The portrait, inspired by a real-life photo of Princess Kate in a floor-length white gown at King Charles III’s first state banquet in November 2022, has drawn significant backlash for its depiction of the beloved princess.
Social Media Reactions
Social media platforms, including Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), have been abuzz with reactions to the portrait. One user remarked, “Looks like an amateur painting done in primary school. Just bad. Awful.” Another added, “Who is making decisions on these commissions? The portraits are getting weirder and weirder. This is quite amateurish, does not resemble HRH.”
Criticism and Defense
The criticism hasn’t been universal; some fans have come to the artist’s defense, appreciating the unique style and perspective Uzor brought to the portrait. However, the majority opinion remains critical, with comments like, “What a horrible portrait for a beautiful woman,” reflecting the widespread disappointment.
Background on the Banquet
At the state banquet, Princess Kate wore Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara, a favorite of Prince William’s late mother, Princess Diana.
