Late on Saturday Vogue revealed the cover of its June edition
on its website, which goes on sale on Thursday, showing a
smiling Kate in a rural outdoors setting wearing a green hat,
brown jacket and white blouse.
Another photo show her in a red and black stripy top, leaning on
a wooden fence.
"I am hugely grateful that we have been able to continue with
our tradition of outstanding royal portraiture," Vogue
editor-in-chief Alexandra Shulman said.
Two of the pictures of Kate from the photo-shoot, which were
taken in January by British photographer Josh Olins, will be
displayed at London's National Portrait Gallery as part of an
exhibition in May to mark Vogue's 100th anniversary.
Diana, the mother of Kate's husband Prince William, featured
several times on Vogue's cover, but Vogue said this was Kate's
first fashion photo-shoot. Queen Elizabeth and other royals have
appeared inside the magazine, but not as cover models.
Kate's clothing choices sometimes lead to a surge in sales of
similar items, and Vogue said she had selected items for the
shoot from designers including Britain's Burberry and French
maritime-themed label Petit Bateau.
