Last week, Kate headed to Cambridge to check out a newly unveiled painting of herself and Prince William, at the University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum. In the painting, the mother-of-three looked incredible wearing stunning satin pumps by Manolo Blahnik which she teamed with her green The Vampire’s Wife metallic midi dress.

Of the portrait, Jamie said: "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. 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.
