The Queen at Breakfast – painted by the Duke
The Duke of Edinburgh's impressionist painting of his wife, kept in his private collection since 1965, will be included in a book to be published on Monday
She has been painted by just about every famous artist from Annigonni to Lucian Freud, but perhaps never quite like this. The portrait of the Queen at breakfast in 1965 was painted by one of the few artists who knows what she looks like at that time of day: the Duke of Edinburgh.
