Kate Middleton does Lucien Freud – photos

WITH Prince William fomenting war in the Falkland Islands, Kate Middleton was at a Lucian Freud Portraits exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, mingling with the likes of Dame Antonia Fraser, muse ‘Big’ Sue Tilley and Lord Bragg. The Duchess of Cambridge is the venue’s first royal patron.
