A photograph taken to mark the Duchess of Cambridge's 40th Birthday is to go on show near her family home in Berkshire.

A black and white shot of the Duchess in profile will be displayed from next week at the Middleton family's parish church at St James the Less in Pangbourne.

It'll be there March 22 to April 5.

In early April it'll be moved to Reading museum near to the Royal Berkshire hospital where Kate was born.

You can see the picture from April 7 to June 4.

The photo portrait that will go on show in Berkshire

A picture of the duchess with her hair flowing and wearing a red Alexander McQueen dress will be on show between June 13 and September 30 at the Wardlaw Museum at the University of St Andrews.

William and Kate met as students at the university in Fife, when Kate was studying history of art, as was William before he switched to geography.

The third photograph in Roversi’s series shows Kate in a white dress, smiling straight at the camera.

This portrait will be displayed at Anglesey’s Oriel Mon museum between July 16 and October 2.

William and Kate had a home on Anglesey in north Wales before their wedding while William worked as an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot.

They remained there during the early years of their marriage, eventually moving to London soon after the birth of their first child Prince George in 2013.

Nicholas Cullinan, director of the National Portrait Gallery, of which Kate is patron, said: “As one of her first and earliest patronages, we are delighted to be sharing Paolo Roversi’s wonderful portraits, taking each to a place of resonance across the United Kingdom for Her Royal Highness as part of our Coming Home project.”

Kate celebrated her 40th birthday on January 9 this year. The portraits can be visited free of charge.
