Heir and Spare in Paint

Princes William and Harry by Nicky Philipps

CNN has a nice report on the unveiling of the double portrait commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery of the UK depicting the two princes in a casual moment:

Artist Nicky Philipps said she was able to capture an informal moment, “a behind-the-scenes glance at the human element of royal responsibility, and to emphasize their brotherly relationship.”

Commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery, the painting shows Prince Harry seated next to Prince William, who is standing to his left. They are wearing the dress uniform of the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry, where they are both lieutenants.

William also wears the the star and blue sash of the Order of the Garter, a British order of chivalry, which the queen awarded him in 2008.
