‘Poster for a horror film’: Royal expert reacts to King Charles’ official portrait
CNN royal historian Kate Williams reacts to King Charles’ newly unveiled official portrait, which has garnered divisive reactions from the public.
However the public reaction has been somewhat negative, with one commentator writing on X: “Anybody else find the new portrait of King Charles III incredibly disturbing and off-putting?”
Another added: “King Charles new portrait is absolutely fecking hideous, looks like he is burning in hell”.
A third said: “the official portrait of King Charles makes him look as though he’s mostly known for a massacre of Communists in 1920 in Siberia.”
One person commented: “I appreciate the attempt at something unconventional, but this new King Charles portrait looks like the poster for a truly nightmarish horror movie.”
