Returning to Kensington Palace last week, His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Duke of Kent commissioned a new R.A.F Uniform Portrait.My second sitting with H.R.H it was exciting to have a catchup and discuss the impact of my first portrait commission.

Prince Edward, Duke of Kent is a first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II through their fathers, Prince George, Duke of Kent, and King George VI. H.R.H has held the title of Duke of Kent for over 78 years.

In directing His Royal Highness, I opted for a series of dutiful and solemn expressions. These best representing the The Duke who has performed public duties on behalf of his cousin The Queen for over 50 years. The sitting my fifth Royal portrait commission was very enjoyable, creating a series of historical portraits for a member of the Royal Family. Limited Edition prints of the official portrait are on sale below.
