GETTY W 032012 QUEENELIZABETHII?  SQUARESPACE CACHEVERSION=1369962914725TOBY MELVILLE/AFP/Getty Images(LONDON) — A painting may have started another royal controversy.

Commissioned by the palace, a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to mark her 60 years on the throne was created by contemporary portraitist Nicky Philipps. However, critics say it doesn’t resemble her. Some see Margaret Thatcher, or perhaps a hint of Winston Churchill.

The picture will appear on a new stamp to be used across Britain.
