  • Health Pablo Carbonell's daughter makes her film debut despite the pessimistic prognosis of her doctors

  • Television Pablo Carbonell: the salty and irresponsible guy who has taken 50 years to mature

Spanish art is highly valued in the

Windsor

domains .

Mercedes Carbonell,

sister of the singer and comedian

Pablo Carbonell

(61) and cousin of the actress

Aitana Sánchez-Gijón

(55), is in luck because Queen Camilla has fallen

in love with one of her works.

It is neither more nor less than a portrait of

Princess Charlotte

(8), the only daughter of Kate Middleton and Prince William, which is

exhibited at Kindred Studios

whose mission is to build communities with art at the heart.

During her visit to this gallery, the monarch

smiled sweetly at the painting

that reflects Lady Di's granddaughter with great realism. As she has reflected,

Hello!

In her digital edition, Mercedes said that

"the queen really liked it.

I think Carlota looks like Queen Elizabeth in the photograph that prompted me to make a painting."

The image that served as an inspiration model was a

photo that Kate Middleton took

of her daughter on her second birthday at Anmer Hall. It is

an 18th century mansion

where they often enjoy vacations and is located on the grounds of

Sandringham

, one of Elizabeth II's private residences.

A year ago, Carbonell, of Cadiz origin, proudly posed

in front of the National Gallery

in London with Charlotte's portrait. It is not the first time that she has painted a member of the Windsor family since several years ago

the protagonist was Meghan Markle

(42) with a yellow background in which the United States flag waved.

The portraitist's life seems like a

fairy tale

come true. Due to the

depression

caused by the

death of her sister

Nuria, she moved to London for a change of scenery. To support herself, she found

work in a nursing home

and immediately became a

cleaner

at Thomasin Margaret Guinness, heir to the well-known brewing family. A

great friendship

immediately arose

between the two women. Later she was

part of the service at the

Maldives consul's house.

As

El País

published , while doing her chores Mercedes was

listening to David Byrne

, leader of

Talking Heads

, when suddenly the lady of the house told her that he was one of her favorite singers. The Spanish woman reacted excitedly:

"I know him

and I'm going to go to a party at his house. Come with me, I'll introduce him to you." As Mercedes assured the Spanish media, the lady was taken aback.

From that moment on, a

chain reaction

was generated that allowed him to paint the British elite, among them,

Matthew Freud

, great-great-grandson of the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud and nephew of the sought-after painter and printmaker Lucian Freud. Among other portraits of well-known figures, that of

Mario Conde

(75) stands out.
