While Kate wore wedges to Cambridgeshire County Day, she kicked off her visit to Cambridgeshire on Thursday wearing suede pointed pumps to the University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum. The Duke and Duchess viewed their first official joint portrait, which was unveiled on Thursday, at the museum. The artwork, commissioned in 2021 by the Cambridgeshire Royal Portrait Fund as a gift to Cambridgeshire, 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. I wanted to show Their Royal Highnesses in a manner where they appeared both relaxed and approachable, as well as elegant and dignified,” Jamie said in a statement shared by Kensington Palace. “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.”

William and Kate’s outing on June 23 also included visits to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) in Milton and the housing charity Jimmy’s.
