The royal appeared in a number of photographs shot by Christina Ebenezer to mark her 60th year. She beamed from ear to ear wearing a black turtleneck sweater and white pleated skirt as she sat in one of the bay windows of her Bagshot Park home in Surrey.
"After admiring two portraits I photographed of Letitia Wright & Michaela Coel at the National Portrait Gallery, the Duchess wanted to collaborate and be captured in a different light for this new chapter of life," the photographer revealed on Instagram alongside the bible verse: "A person's gift makes room for him, and leads him before important people.'. Proverbs 18:16."
