The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released their first official portrait, and fans are stunned by the stunning green dress worn by Kate Middleton alongside her husband Prince William.

Kate Middleton was spotted donning an emerald dress valued at £1,600 that she previously wore during a royal tour of Ireland back in 2020.
The quality dress from the vampire's wife featured three-quarter length semi-sheer sleeves and ruffles at the hem.
Prince William, on the other hand, wore a slick black suit, navy tie, and white pocket square for the portrait.
The portrait's unveiling received positive reactions on social media, with users calling it “absolutely gorgeous” and praising the artist behind it, Jamie Corth, for his talent.

One user even mistook the portrait for a photo with a vintage filter on it.
The painting evoked a feeling of balance between the couple's public and private lives, with Korth aiming to show them as both relaxed and approachable, as well as elegant and dignified.
Kensington Palace released the portrait today, which showed Middleton wearing the pricey Falconetti dress from the vampire's wife, with a sparkly attire said to be valued at a hefty £1,595.
The portrait also includes a hexagonal architectural motif, a signature trait found on buildings throughout Cambridge, to incorporate the city into the piece.
In addition to Kate's highly praised dress, she also wore satin green Manolo Blahnik pumps and a pair of pearl drop earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana.
The portrait has taken royal family social media circles by storm, delighting Twitter users.
The painting will be on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum for three years, after which it will be exhibited in other spaces and galleries around the city.
It was commissioned as a gift for the people of Cambridgeshire, and Korth hopes they will enjoy it as much as he enjoyed creating it.
The portrait's release marks the first time the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been depicted together in an official portrait, specifically during their time as a couple holding their title.
