William and Kate fans spot duke’s ‘James Bond pose’ in new portrait as he delivers his verdict

'It's quite big!'

William and Kate fans have all made the same observation after their first official portrait was unveiled earlier today (June 23).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been immortalised on canvas for the very first time by artist Jamie Coreth.

It’s currently hanging in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, which the couple visited earlier today.

And, after catching their first glimpse of the portrait, eagle-eyed royal fans all spotted the same thing about the future king.

However, while many thousands of fans agreed it was beautiful and looked more like a photograph than a painting, others picked up on William’s pose in the portrait.

Not only that, they likened the future monarch to either James Bond or a male model!

‘The pose is very James Bond’

The comments came thick and fast, with one person admitting: “I’ve never seen William stand like that! But I think I love it!”

“The pose is very James Bond,” said another. “I like it.”

I’ve never seen William stand like that but I think I love it!

“I thought the same thing,” said a third.

Another said that William looked like a male model.

“William is standing like a GQ model,” they said of the prince, who is painted looking shaken, not stirred, with his hand in his pocket.

“Love the Prince’s stance,” said another. “It adds the necessary realness to the portrait – a bit King George IV.”
