Well, alrighty then—King Charles III’s first official monarchical portrait since his coronation (which cost the British public way too much money) has been unveiled and it’s quite the statement.
Although Camilla has told the artist, Jonathan Yeo, “Yes,
you’ve got him right,” the folks on the Interwebz beg to differ. I mean—they get
the statement part, but it’s unlikely to be one the House of Windsor likes.
Mostly around whether the surfeit of red is indicative of Charles being in Hell,
or symbolic of the blood of empire.
(¿Por
qué no los dos?)
And then there's the butterfly.
Me—I’m thinking that Yeo might just have found a lot of red
paint on sale down to the local Michael’s. And climate protestors will have to find something besides tomato soup to throw on it to make their statement.
