Sir Cecil Beaton, that late polymath of artistic talent, has many claims to the fame he still enjoys.
The similarities between the photo and the ones taken by Beaton are evident, with royal commenters noting the styling, posing and colour all have echoes of the famous photographer. The Duchess of Cambridge, who studied the History of Art at St Andrews University, was specifically inspired by Beaton's work for the 'classic shot', the palace revealed. There is the regal side to her – as you can see in the classic shot where she is looking off into the distance there is the more informal image in the red dress as a modern woman at 40 and then there is the close-up, which offers a more intimate perspective.' The pictures were taken by Italian fashion photographer Paolo Roversi in Kew Gardens.Ī Palace source said: 'From the three photographs, you can see the three aspects of Kate's personality. To mark Kate's 40th birthday yesterday, Kensington Palace released three portraits revealing sides of the Duchess of Cambridge, rarely seen by the public. The Duchess of Cambridge paid tribute to the history of royal photography in her birthday portraits by drawing on the work of Cecil Beaton, famous for capturing the Queen, Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother.
