Buckingham Palace unveiled a new official portrait of King Charles III on Tuesday, capturing the monarch in his Welsh Guards uniform. Commissioned in 2020 to mark the then Prince of Wales's 70th birthday, the portrait by British artist Jonathan Yeo is the first since the King's coronation in May 2023.
Dressed in the full regalia of the Welsh Guards, King Charles stands with his sword for support. The portrait has been praised for its boldness and realism, and is expected to become an iconic representation of the monarch's reign.
Queen Camilla, who is also depicted in the portrait, is said to have been deeply touched by the painting. According to sources, she remarked that it captured the essence of her husband and would become a cherished memento of their time together.
