Scotland artist Tom Sutton-Smith painted a portrait of Kate Middleton, pretty much on a dare after her official portrait by Paul Emsley was unveiled and friends teased him that he could do better.

Andrews, chair of Pertshire Open Studio, told Vanity Fair that the Duke of Cambridge exclaimed, "Wow, it's brilliant! That's going up in my room."
Kate, as well, "was wowed by it," Andrews added. "She reached out her arms to hold it and stared at it."
