ROYAL FAMILY
King Charles III portrait absolutely roasted on social media
From the dark depths of Mordor, behold, the first official portrait of King Charles III since he was crowned monarch.
Charles, 75, hosted an unveiling ceremony for his new painting by UK artist Jonathan Yeo (though you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the handiwork of Prince Harry), at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, local time.
Unfortunately for Mr Yeo, the reception has been brutal on social media, the top comment on X gave the simple yet punchy critique: “It is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.”
King Charles appeared to tremble as he unveiled his “ghastly” new portrait, which has copped the full wrath of social media users.
Charles himself appeared to get a mini fright when he pulled off the black cloak to find an emblazoned red King staring back at him, while Queen Camilla reportedly gave Mr Yeo her stamp of approval, “Yes, you’ve got him.”
