From Queen Elizabeth II as a seemingly toothless pensioner, to an apparently semi-naked Prince Philip , royal portraits have not always gone to plan.

Sisi, Queen of Hungary and Empress of Austria, was an outstanding figure in the history of Hungary who also greatly respected our country and its culture.

There are literally hundreds of his paintings (and copies of his work) still in the Royal Collection today, and dozens of them are portraits of the royal couple's nine children. Winterhalter portrayed the eldest child, known in the family as Vicky, more frequently than most of the others, from her infancy until several years after her marriage. The images here are only a sample.

To celebrate the Duchess of Cambridge's first official royal portrait, we've picked out some other royal portraits from recent times

Briton Riviere (London, August 14, 1840 - April 20, 1920) was a British artist of Huguenot descent. He exhibited a variety of paintings at the Royal Academy, but devoted much of his life to animal paintings. [Christie’s, London - Oil on canvas, 110.5 x 85 cm]

Emperor Wilhelm II, 1909-11. Though recently repaired, the portrait still shows the marks of five slashes apparently inflicted by Russian soldiers at the end of World War II. The first grandchild of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, "Willy" suffered a birth injury that permanently damaged his left arm; many believe his disability, and others' reaction to it, severely affected his psychology. He was further warped by his early indoctrination into the all-pervasive Prussian military milieu, and manipulated by politicians who were opposed to the liberal ideas of his father, and who encouraged his increasingly arrogant and pompous behavior. He was eventually alienated from his parents, directing his anger and spite at his mother, especially. As an adult, he was decidedly a poseur, rarely appearing out of military uniform, and presenting himself in portraits as the personification of the most bombastic and bellicose form of kingship. Callous and vindictive, petty and dictatorial, fairly humorless, meddling. Oh, and World War I. The painting before restoration. The central arch of the colonnade of the Communs, Neues Palais, Potsdam, can be seen in the background. A finished sketch for the full-length portrait, 1909. Two sketches for the portrait, circa 1908-11. Here, in the background, the Communs is shown from the same angle as in the photograph below. In the studio: the artist, the horse, one of the artist's sons, and the unfinished painting, 1911. At this stage, the building in the background still looks to be a view of a wing of the Communs rather than the colonnade. Sketch of the borzoi included in the painting, though reversed. In the smaller sketch to the right of the dog, here, one can make out the Emperor and the horse in the same configuration as in the final painting, but the dog - as here - is in a reversed position. Circa 1908-10. Reference photograph with sketch of the horse's head and the dog in its originally planned position. As in the finished painting, the Communs of the Neues Palais can be seen in the background, though viewed from a different perspective. Reference photograph. The Emperor is posed on the terrace of the Neues Palais, Potsdam. 1908. 1908. *** King Carol II of Romania, 1936. A great-grandchild of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Carol grew up under the control of his great-uncle King Carol I, who spoiled the child and, at the same time, instilled a "profound love of German militarism". He also largely excluded the boy's parents from any role in his upbringing; Carol would eventually become alienated from his parents, especially his mother the vivacious, flamboyant Queen Marie. Lazy and apathetic, from his teenage years he became known for his romantic misadventures. At the age of twenty-four, second in line to the throne, he abandoned his army post in order to marry a commoner. The marriage was annulled seven months later, though the couple continued to live together; they even had a child the following year. Only a year later, he made a properly dynastic marriage to Princess Helen of Greece. (A second cousin and also a great-grandchild of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.) Their only son was born soon after, but the marriage quickly soured, due to Carol's playboy lifestyle, his drinking and womanizing. Then he took up with the infamous Elena Lupescu, who would be his mistress (and finally wife) for the rest of his life, and Helen was finally compelled to divorce him in 1928. Before that, in 1925, because of his relationship with Lupescu, Carol had renounced his right to the throne in favor of his son and had gone to live in Paris with his mistress. Two years later, Carol's father died and his five year old son was proclaimed king. But only three years, later Carol returned to Romania in a coup d'état and took the throne from the boy. Inflicting many petty cruelties on his former wife and alienating his son, indulging in a sybaritic lifestyle, Carol managed to weather the vagaries of Romania politics and the encroachment of Hitler for ten years; it helped that he had a complete lack of scruples. But he was deposed in 1940, and Michael once again became king. Carol and Luspescu went into exile, first in Mexico, then settling permanently in Portugal. Sketch for the official portrait. The artist and model. 1936.
