The monarch unveiled the painting by Jonathan Yeo at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday
The painting by British artist Jonathan Yeo, depicts Charles wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, of which he was made Regimental Colonel in 1975.
While a third added: "A lovely portrait of King Charles! I love the way the muted background draws attention to his face!"Others were less sure of the dramatic red hue, commenting: "I would have loved this if it was any other color than red. He really captured the essence of him in the face, but the harshness of the red doesn't match the softness of his expression."See the King's reaction to the artwork in the video below...
After pulling off the cover at the unveiling at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, the King said: "It is remarkable actually how it has turned out.
The King had four sittings with the artist, beginning when Charles was Prince of Wales in June 2021 at Highgrove, and later at Clarence House. The last sitting took place in November 2023 at Clarence House.
