The photograph of William and Kate in Bed 2011, which shows doubles of the royal couple relaxing in their bedroom by British artist Alison Jackson
The fake photo by British artist Alison Jackson, William and Kate in Bed 2011, shows doubles of the royal couple relaxing in their bedroom, with the angle of the picture suggesting it was taken by a hidden camera.
"Alison's work is about the anxiety that surrounds sex and royalty," said the show's curator Tom Morton.
"When I was a child, in 1981, the virginity of Diana was trumpeted by the palace. No one talks about William and Kate, yet we know they lived together before their marriage," said Alison.
