During the reception Kate, who recently celebrate a thousand days
as the Duchess of Cambridge, will meet guests including David
Bailey, Olympic Gold medalist Katherine Grainger and Jonathan
Yeo.
The Duchess will also see a selection of “pen portraits” which have
been described as exclusive stories, descriptions and commentaries
about a chosen painting inside the gallery and these will be sold
to raise money for the gallery.
Kate, who gained a degree in the History of Art, has been patron of
the National Portrait Gallery since January 2012 and has made
several visits to the London gallery.
In January 2013, her first portrait, by Paul Emsley was unveiled at
the gallery provoking a mixed reaction, however the Duchess
revealed she thought it was “amazing”.
