Cowan loved all the news of Prince William and Harry as they grew up. When William asked for Kate’s hand, Cowan knew that Kate would win the world’s affection like Princess Diana. He painted this full-length oil on canvas during their first year of marriage in 2011. Cowan like many artists, when he formed an idea in his head, he had to express it on canvas. He adored Princess Diana and had hopes of painting Her in this dress with William and Harry in white tie and tails by Her side. He presented the sketch to Her Highness for Her thoughts on the dress. Unfortunately, the circular painting was never started.
