This stunning painting of The Duke of Edinburgh by Ralph Heimans is the centrepiece of a wonderful exhibition celebrating Prince Philip’s life - more than a hundred intriguing items on show at Windsor Castle now. Congratulations to @RCT
HRH Prince Philip just turned 99! It was such a great experience producing this portrait! I'm thrilled that it's hanging in the Royal Collection at St James' Palace where the Duke of Edinburgh Awards are given out. He was such a brilliant subject! https://t.co/tXrYHuhwro
@MargaretAtwood is cast loosely as Prospero, who is widely considered to be a representation of Shakespeare himself. She's actually holding my old painting stick which I use when I need a steady hand. The frame is an 18th Century French tabernacle which I restored in my studio.
@ericagonzo Saw your story in Harpers Bazaar - thought you might like to see this new portrait of HRH the Prince of Wales - Unveiled by HRH at Australia House for his 70th Birthday
