King Charles III marked another first in his reign this week, unveiling the first official portrait of himself since his coronation last year.
Charles and his wife Queen Camilla were on hand Tuesday as the king's portrait was unveiled at Buckingham Palace.
The portrait, which stands over 6 feet tall, was painted over the course of three years by Jonathan Yeo, a U.K.-based artist, according to the palace.
The painting features a striking red background and shows Charles wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, of which he was made Regimental Colonel in 1975, according to the palace.

California Gov. Jerry Brown had a better portrait.
He said he wanted to be reincarnated as a tampon so he could live inside Camilla. Now he looks like one covered in menstrual blood.

Makes me think of the town of Lago in High Plains Drifter.
There is Twitchy article about King Charles’ portrait, and there were lots of tweets comparing it to Biden’s red speech.
Hardly a distant relation - Lucian was Sigmund’s grandson.
(another equally improbable grandson was Clement Freud - long-time regular on British TV quiz shows, TV cook and Liberal Democrat MP.)
Guessing that’s some kind of AI — pretty remarkable.
Huh? This portrait reminds me of Dark Brandi’s Speech.
Ouch.....
Bloody English Monarchs
