/*Prince William*/'s wife, the former /*Kate Middleton*/, attended a preview of a retrospective of the work of Lucian Freud.
It was recently announced that the duchess is a patron of the gallery and that she will pose for a portrait in the near future.
Her appearance comes while Prince William is on a six-week deployment to the Falkland Islands.
The exhibit features more than 100 paintings completed over 70 years, many of them nude studies of the artist's friends and family.
