The three portraits of the Duchess of Cambridge taken before her 40th birthday are on tour.
According to Britain's National Portrait Gallery, the portraits of Duchess Kate, who turned 40 in January, will be on display publically for the first time at four places in three locations across the United Kingdom: Berkshire, St Andrews, and Anglesey.
The duchess personally picked the places chosen as they all have "a special meaning to her."
The picture of Her Royal Highness dressed in red will be on display from June 13 to September 30 at the Wardlaw Museum at the University of St. Andrews.
The university is where His Royal Highness met the duchess.
These new portraits which have been released to mark the 40th will be shown in the community in three meaningful places: Berkshire, St Andrews, and Anglesey, as part of the @NPGLondon nationwide ‘Coming Home’ exhibition, ahead of the Gallery reopening in 2023.

The photograph of Duchess Kate in all white will be on display at St James the Less Church from March 22 to April 5, then at Reading Museum from April 7 to June 4.
The church was chosen because it is where the Middletons have attended "over several generations." The museum was picked because it's close to Royal Berkshire Hospital, where Duchess Kate was born.
Delighted to share a new portrait of The Duchess ahead of her 40th birthday tomorrow.
This is one of three new portraits which will enter the permanent collection of the @NPGLondon, of which The Duchess is Patron.

The portrait of her smiling in the white dress will be displayed from July 16 to October 2 at Anglesey’s Oriel Môn.
This place is meaningful to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge because it's where they first lived together in the early years of their marriage.
Thank you for all of your very kind birthday wishes, and to Paolo and the National Portrait Gallery for these three special portraits. C
