The trio of portraits will enter the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London, of which The Duchess is Patron. They will also be shown in the community in three meaningful places: Berkshire, St Andrews, and Anglesey, as part of the NPG's nationwide ‘Coming Home’ exhibition, ahead of the Gallery reopening in 2023.​

For the milestone portraits,  Kate wore three custom Alexander McQueen dresses. The silhouette of the red dress matches the designer's Asymmetric Draped Sleeve Dress ($4,990) available in a Anemone print.
