Many people seem not to like the new portrait.
They think it's creepy. Art is too subjective - every one is an expert. (Hi!)
I like it. Very surreal and yet ... very real - in a 'Lord of the World' sort of way...
Seriously, the post-post-modern composition is wonderfully theatrical - it reminds me of an ad for a play or a film, posed on set with the entire cast. How appropriate for monarchy without power. Which is why I like it - it's honest and real.
It looks like one of the old V.C. Andrews covers to me!
