The piece was commissioned in 2021 by the Cambridgeshire Royal Portrait Fund, which is held by the Cambridge Community Foundation, as a gift to Cambridgeshire. It was painted by award-winning British portrait artist Jamie Coreth.
"It has been the most extraordinary privilege of my life to be chosen to paint this picture," Coreth said. "I wanted to show Their Royal Highnesses in a manner where they appeared both relaxed and approachable, as well as elegant and dignified."
"As it is the first portrait to depict them together, and specifically during their time as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I wanted the image to evoke a feeling of balance between their public and private lives. The piece was commissioned as a gift for the people of Cambridgeshire, and I hope they will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed creating it," he continued.
In the portrait, Kate wears her metallic emerald dress by The Vampire's Wife, which she wore during the couple's visit to Dublin in March 2020. William is seen in a dark suit and a blue tie.

They've officially been the The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge since their wedding day in April of 2011, but they're still doing official firsts!

Will and Kate were at University of Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum in the heart of Cambridge, for the reveal.

Rupert Murdoch, considered by many to be satans right hand man, surprised millions six years ago when he landed one time supermodel Jerry Hall.
No one knows how Murdoch, who is worth $17.7 billion, and Hall got together, but on the day of their wedding he tweeted he 'Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in world.'

Back in April, Ed Sheeran won a lawsuit that alleged he plagiarized his hit song "The Shape of You" from Chokri and O'Donoghue's song "Oh Why."
Since then the judge has gone a step furth in stating the accusers must pay the over $1 million in legal fees accrued fighting the case, arguing that they didn't provide documents and "demonstrated 'awkwardness and opacity,'" according to the BBC.
"I consider it is appropriate that the claimants' success is reflected in an order that their c...
Who doesn't love the kooky science loving Bill Nye? Well it turns out one person loves him more than anyone. His new bride!
Journalist and author Liza Mundy said I do to Bill late last month at the Castle Building's Haupt Garden at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.
The story of how they met is adorable. Mundy was writing her best selling book, Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II, and in it she mentioned Bill mother.

Not long after, that school, Duke Ellington School of the Arts, announced it was naming it's performance theater after Dave for "ongoing commitment and service to the school."
Then in November Dave visited the ...

What can't Harry Styles do?
At a recent concert at Wembley Stadium, the singer spotted a fan in the audience holding up a curious sign. "From Ono to Wembley: Help me come out." He brought it onstage and shared the message with the audience.

Lauren Graham and Peter Krause have been together for nearly ten years, but they've decided to go their separate ways.
The adorable couple met in 1995. However, their relationship didn't become romantic until nearly two decades later when they co-starred as siblings Adam and Sarah Braverman on Parenthood from 2010 to 2015.
The pair kept their relationship mostly low key, but did occasionally hit a red carpet together.
In 2014, Graham was apprehensive when asked about her future plans ...
They might have to hit a few yard sales to find a VCR to play it in, but some lucky bastard is the new owner of a sealed copy of "Back to the Future".
The tape had been saved since it was released by none other than Thomas F Wilson, the actor who portrayed Biff Tannen in the trilogy.
It included a signed note from Wilson that read: “This is a VHS tape of the first release of Back To The Future, sent to me by the studio at that time. Since I knew that the VHS platform would be around forever, I saved it for later and now I can’t find a VCR. Oh well. Enjoy!”

Those who know, know. And what they know is that in all of Malibu there is no street more desired than that of Malibu Colony rd. I often note that it's the strip of beach front property you see through out the show Two and a Half Men.
Interestingly, Jonah bought a house on this block a year ago, according to Dirt.com, but on the non beach side. Now a property is available right on the sand.
It's had the same owner since 1960 and the interior reflects that. Outdated, bland and worn took...
