Royal Collection
Captured during an intimate moment staring down from the balcony of Buckingham Palace in which the newest member of the royal family contemplates which she despises more, the Queen's dogs or the poor, this exclusive portrait glimpses 'Cammy' in all her ravaged glory. In particular, the contrast of strong, almost violent pen strokes with the tender attention to detail present in the simple string of pearls make this a truly remarkable representation of a complex and often misunderstood woman.
It's no surprise the heir to the throne is known as 'the heart-throb prince', as our stunning rendering confirms. Young William, 35, seems to win over new admirers all the time with his gleaming smile, easy-going charm and simple minded wit. Whether scrumming down for a game of 'rugger' with his chums or dismounting with a satisfied grin on the polo field as our portrait shows, William loves being in touch with the common man, and to reach out and touch common men everywhere. Truly an icon of our times.
Our timeless image captures the people's princess in a classic pose; both playful and demure, passionate yet vulnerable, beguilingly attractive, and so ultimately bananas. Echoing the Mona Lisa in her unfathomable, unknowable expression, just what is she thinking? Is she pondering her crusade to rid the world of the scourge of landmines? Ruminating on the Queen's reluctance to accept her as Diana's beloved British public had? Or merely, "That tunnel wall's getting a bit close"? The interpretations are limitless.
