Yeo began the portrait more than a year before Charles became king, with a sitting at the then-Prince of Wales` Highgrove estate in June 2021. The last sitting took place in November 2023 at Clarence House, one of the king`s residences in London

The larger-than-life painting by artist Jonathan Yeo captures the king with his hands clasped atop the hilt of his sword and a butterfly flitting above his right shoulder.
Earlier this week, King Charles III unveiled the first portrait of the monarch completed since he assumed the throne, a vivid image that depicts him in the bright red uniform of the Welsh Guards against a background of similar hues.
My first reaction was “wtf”
But honestly, I’m digging King Charles’ portrait. The facial expression Yeo captured is incredible.
