"Shocking" Queen portrait unveiled in Wales - picture

A new controversial portrait of the Queen has been unveiled at the Millennium Stadium in Wales.



Created by Cardiff-born artist Dan Llywelyn Hall, the painting depicts the monarch who appears to be frowning, while wearing a bright red dress and signature pearls.

However, rugby fans who turned up at the unveiling appeared to be less than impressed with the artwork.

"It is a shocking portrayal," said one attendee. "She looks like a caricature of her Spitting Image puppet."

Gallery owner Francis Kyle, however, stated the painting had a "certain thoughtfulness" about it.

He added: "What is strange is that the Queen is very small and petite and fine-featured.

"You wouldn't think that to look at this."
