King Charles and Queen Camilla's Portraits Installed in Buckingham Palace

Earlier this year, King Charles and Queen Camilla unveiled their official portraits in a grand ceremony. Recently, these regal images have found their new home in Buckingham Palace's Throne Room. On July 31, the Palace shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the portraits being hung in their new setting, offering viewers a touch of art history. Anna Reynolds, the Surveyor of The King’s Pictures, explained that state portraits are traditionally full-length images that serve as iconic representations of the monarch. She also shared an interesting historical tidbit: King George III was so fond of his portrait—the one featuring his yellow coronation attire—that he commissioned over 150 copies from artist Allan Ramsay to distribute worldwide.
