Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge 40th Birthday photos

[bonnies mum]

I am a fan of hers, but like others say her beauty is natural & the photos don’t reflect her personality. The red dress one is the best but they are all too formal - a mix of clothes/settings would have been better.

Tbh, if it wasn’t stated who this is, I wouldn’t have a clue 🤔
Kate is a pretty woman and these pictures are of a pretty woman, but they don’t look like her.

If I had seen these pictures without your heading, I honestly wouldn't know who this was. Looks nothing like her . Not impressed, she's a beautiful woman so bit disappointed that. Xx

The best picture I have ever seen of her sadly is the one of her in the car at Prince Philip's funeral. I don't think she was even aware it was being taken.
I agree with Scotsmomma these look like a makeover and photoshoot session.

Kate is naturally beautiful and her personality shines through in all of her photos, you can tell her mood from them, but these just look like filtered photos that just don't do her justice as to who she is as a person, she still looks beautiful but in my opinion it's not Kate as I see her and going by the comments this is what others are seeing too.

Big nope from me. They're an odd mix of 80s glamour photo and Victorian portrait. Doesn't represent the beautiful modern woman that she is at all.

It's Kate and William that have turned a lot of people's feeling around on the monarchy, well people I know anyway, I used to think it was dated and a lot of pomp, but these two and for a long while Harry too upped the ante , a lot like their mother and are doing good.
I think she looks stunning anyway even more so in the pictures but even when she's posing naturally with the family she looks amazing, happy 40th x

I’m not a big fan of William and Kate but agree she is a very beautiful lady (if a bit thin - or maybe im just jealous!).
I like the one in the red dress but agree with others on the rest - very Victorian and not very Kate

It's a pity though that the photos have purely inspired comments about beauty and none of her other achievements.

I saw the photos out of the corner of my eye on a news site and I thought “Kate who”. I don’t have a problem with the style of the photos, and the woman in them looks nice enough but she is not recognisable to me as Catherine. I would have liked her photos to look like her! So a fail for me.
