A bold new portrait of King Charles III is causing quite a range of reactions. The portrait, the first official one of Charles, 75, since his May 2023 coronation, was painted by British artist Jonathan Yeo — and it's dividing fans with its dramatic depiction of the king. In a short video the royal family posted to social media platforms, the king can be seen unveiling the painting while standing alongside Yeo May 14 at Buckingham Palace.

“He really captured the essence of him in the face, but the harshness of the red doesn’t match the softness of his expression,” one person said. Meanwhile, some royal family watchers found the painting’s contemporary tone refreshing. “I think this is beautiful and such a break from the traditional portraits,” noted one fan. “This painting is absolutely SPECTACULAR and so sophisticated and STRONG. Congratulations to the artist,” wrote another.
