Kate, who usually does her own make-up is believed to have allowed a professional make-up artist prep her for the photos, which were taken by renowned fashion photographer, Josh Olins.
The mother of two followed in the footsteps of Princess Diana, who was the cover star of the magazine four times in total, including a posthumous appearance in 1997.
