In reply to the discussion: King Charles III portrait unveiled. 👀 people have thoughts [View all]Warpy
(111,796 posts)54. All I can think is that a month or two after his death
it dawns on his heirs that he never sat for a portrait. File photos were inadequate, most of them taken when he was in his 30s or 40s.
So they dug him up, snapped a few photos and did the painting as realistically as possible.
I do hope someone else does a portrait. I might think he's a rich twit, but he's not evil and he deserves better than that.

I thought maybe they unveiled it before it was finished due to his health reasons. nt
