A magnificent shot … On the occasion of his fortieth birthday, Kate Middleton posed for Italian fashion photographer Paolo Roversi. On a first shot, the pretty brunette wears a fluid dress from the Ready-to-Wear and Resort 2022 collection by Alexander McQueen as well as pearl earrings by Lady Diana. To accompany the photo, it is specified: “Here is one of the three new portraits which will make their entry in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, of which the Duchess is the godmother.“In the comments section, the reactions were immediate.”I’m out of breath. Its beauty radiates from within!“;”I am speechless, this photo is simply iconic and will have its place in history!“;”She looks like a real goddess!“, can we read.
On a second shot, Kate Middleton displays a broad smile. Sublimated by a light makeup, she matched her lipstick with a red satin dress, which reveals one of her shoulders. Like her wedding dress, the latter is signed Alexander McQueen. To complete her look, the Duchess of Cambridge opted for diamond earrings belonging to Elizabeth II. Finally, the mother of three posed in another flowy dress from Alexander McQueen. Happy to have made his portraits, Paolo Roversi confided: “The portrait of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was a true honor and a pure moment of joy. I was touched by her warm and friendly welcome and enchanted by her shining eyes which reflected the beauty of her soul and her smile showing the generosity of her heart. It was for me a deep and rich experience, an unforgettable moment. I have met a wonderful person, one who with her positive energy can bring hope to the whole world.“
How will Kate Middleton celebrate her birthday?
According to Duncan Larcombe, journalist specializing in the monarchy, the pretty brunette should celebrate her birthday in a small committee. For the Mirror, he assured: “Kate and William aren’t the type to run away to celebrate things on their side and leave their kids at home. I think Kate’s birthday will be like Christmas, it will be low key and all about her family.“While on August 4, Meghan Markle had celebrated her fortieth birthday with great fanfare, Duncan Larcombe added:”I’ll be really surprised if she announces anything. It’s not his type first, and then the palace would like to avoid comparisons with Meghan.“
