A newly unveiled Kate Middleton’s portrait, intended to honor the Duchess of Cambridge, has been facing significant controversy, with many describing it as “dreadful.” However, the widespread criticism coincides with Middleton’s ongoing battle with cancer, adding a layer of sensitivity to the public’s reaction. There were several negative responses to the portrait on the Internet, with one comment summarizing the general sentiment, “it’s just bad.” Many believe that the artwork fails to do justice to Middleton’s likeness. Despite all the negative comments, some tried to emphasize the subjective nature of art and the challenges artists face in depicting well-known figures.
