Duchesses' 40th Birthday Images
She is obviously happy with them, otherwise their publication would never have been approved.
I rather like them but as Malc has said, if she likes them and the photographer likes them, surely thats all that matters?
I think it is very easy to be overcritical. They weren't taken at her home and she may not have been feeling absolutely comfortable at the time. How many wedding photos are a complete disappoint to the bride and groom simply because of expectations and the situation at the time. I think they were actually very good and i am not sure that anyone who doesn't know her can actually judge unless you are aware of what she looks like in real life!
Do you like the style, the ethereal quality of them. What are they saying? Here is a lady comfortable in herself and happy with her own image, relaxed, approachable and perhaps a real person not that different to us in her own mind. If that's what was envisioned then this to me hit the mark perfectly. Its not how I would have started but it may well be very much the image she wanted.
A quick google of Paolo Roversi's images shows he is not your average fashion photographer and really does great on eye contact - i think i like the bulk of his work. A new person to follow on Instagram

I really like these images of Kate. There's nothing pretentious or regally posed about them and I think the editing style really fits the look I would imagine she really wanted. She's shown as an elegant, mature woman in her own right and not the mumsy, wifey photos we normally see of her.
