Beauty lies in the eyes of Kate Middleton


You guys, remember the public outcry that happened when the official royal portrait of the Duchess was unveiled and a collective “Shhhhaaaa, that’s the best they could get” was heard around the world? Well, Kate and Will loved it but obvi back then I thought they were just being polite. Because that portrait was really not flattering as if… but trust me it could very well be a Vermeer, pearl earrings notwithstanding, compared to this.




Apparently Norren Denzil did not just scoff at Paul Emisley’s efforts, she decided to show him how you go about painting a beloved new comer into the royal fold. Be the judge people, be the judge…

Maybe a side by side comparison will help? Please bear in mind that Kate probably sat for Emisley while Norren obviously painted from a photo.



Emisley's smirk is still a bit too ape-Mona Lisa but come on, there's a world of difference between these two and the difference is all quality. And its probably even more evident if they' re viewed in person.


Norren is now on a campaign to get Kate to view her painting thereafter she hopes to sell it for about $4000 and donate the proceeds to charity.
And if you don’t hear from me for a while, I’ll be working on my rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” on you-tube to show the academy I could have won that Oscar.
