King Charles III is depicted alongside his two heirs, the Prince of Wales, 40, and Prince George, nine, in a new portrait released to mark the coronation.
If the weight of responsibility rests heavily on their shoulders, they do not show it.
Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla pose for a photo with their Pages of Honour and Ladies in Attendance on the day of the coronation.The King’s fur-lined Robe of Estate, draped around his shoulders, is displayed in all of its glory. Carefully draped over his right knee, it cascades down the steps over the red carpet towards the camera.
In his left hand is the Orb, a hollow, 30cm-wide piece of regalia designed to represent the globe, a symbol of the sovereign’s Christian power. Although he is positioned behind his father, his height gives him an air of authority, while his upright stature also suggests independence. The Prince is wearing his scarlet Page of Honour tunic, decorated with gold lace trim and blue velvet cuffs.
On the King’s far right are his own four pages, each of whom did a sterling job of carrying his robes throughout the coronation ceremony.To their left is Annabel Elliot, 74, the Queen’s sister, to whom she is extremely close.To Mrs Elliot’s left are the Queen’s four pages; Freddy Parker Bowles, 13, Arthur Elliot, 10, and twins Gus and Louis Lopes, 13.Freddy and Louis, are in outfits based on the uniform of the Grenadier Guards, in honour of Her Majesty’s role as its Colonel-in-Chief.
