Duchess of Cambridge 40th birthday photographs

[eternalopt]

Pictures released of the Duchess for her 40th - she looks amazing! Love her hair like that www.independent.co.uk/life-style/royal-family/kate-middleton-duchess-cambridge-photos-birthday-b1989379.html?amp

They’re quite strange photos. Seem over photoshopped and soft focussed.

Her hair looks lovely though. Much nicer than her usual look.

She’s a beauty

She is pretty. She is objectively not a beauty.

Give over @RoyalFamilyFan

I'm not a huge Kate fan but I think she looks gorgeous in these photos. She looks incredible in the one in the red dress. TBH I had no idea she was 40, I thought she was much younger.

I don't think they are good. She looks old in the red dress, older than 40. And the third one. She looks so much better in other photos.

@StoatMilk but it is true.
She doesn't look like herself in these photos. But in other photos, she is a very pretty woman. She is the kind who might be voted best looking in her class. But women who are really beautiful are more than that. It is not a criticism of Kate, she is very pretty. But lets not make things up just because she is a Royal.

I’m most certainly not ‘making things up just because she’s a royal’ @RoyalFamilyFan, but as in all things ‘beauty’ is subjective and I think she is beautiful.

I prefer the spontaneity and vibrancy in this candid photo taken at her recent Carol Concert. Smiles in posed photos can sometimes look a little insipid.

Okay fair enough.
I think most people would agree she is very pretty.
