The British-Zambian artist Hannah Uzor, who was commissioned to create the artwork, also spoke about what this opportunity meant to her.
Uzor studied many pictures of Kate to make sure she got everything right and did the Princess justice through her work.
Unfortunately for the Princess and Uzor, the painting has caused some backlash, with many saying it doesn't resemble her at all:
Doesn’t look like Catherine at all. Of she wasn’t wearing that dress I’d have no clue as to who it’s meant to be.

Am I the only person who likes this? It's art, not a photo.
