The first official painted portrait of King Charles III since his coronation has been unveiled at Buckingham Palace.
The vast oil on canvas shows a larger-than-life King Charles in the uniform of the Welsh Guards.
The vivid red work, measuring about 8ft 6in by 6ft 6in, is by Jonathan Yeo, who has also painted Tony Blair, Sir David Attenborough and Malala Yousafzai.
Queen Camilla is said to have looked at the painting and told Yeo: “Yes, you’ve got him.”

I agree with the throne-grabbing home-wrecker: the original portrait nails him — bloody awful. This cartoon is too cartoonish.
I mean the portrait of him in the red uniform nails him, looking 20 years younger than he really is and wearing a red seatbelt for when his throne (disguised here as a chair) blasts him off to Valhalla, where Odin will hand the place over to him.
