A new portrait of Catherine, Princess of Wales has stoked controversy online, with some royal fans criticizing the work for its portrayal of the future British Queen.
The painting, by British-Zambian artist Hannah Uzor, features on the cover of the July issue of Tatler magazine. It aims to honor the “strength and dignity” of the princess, according to a statement from the publication sent to CNN Thursday. It depicts Catherine during her appearance at the first state banquet of King Charles III’s reign, and Uzor said she studied photographs of the princess in the process of creating the work.
“I agree with the sentiments of strength and dignity but the portrait lacks any resemblance to the Princess of Wales,” said another. However, some did praise the work, with one calling the painting “beautiful.” “Am I the only person who likes this? It’s art, not a photo,” wrote another commenter. And it wasn’t just social media users who reacted to the painting.
