Buckingham Palace finally unveiled the first official portrait of King Charles III after his coronation at Westminster Abbey on Saturday. The new monarch of the United Kingdom looked resplendent in his royal regalia to round off the monarch's extraordinary Coronation weekend, reported DailyMail.
As the festivities concluded over the weekend, King Charles issued a written message, saying: 'We thank you, each and everyone.'
Britain witnessed a special Bank Holiday weekend to mark the King’s Coronation and this was reported to be one of the most historic events in 70 years, since the crowning of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
Among the official portraits, one of them was of King Charles, who was captured in his full regalia, wearing the Imperial State Crown, holding the Orb and Sceptre with Cross.
As per the official portraits, King Charles can be seen holding the Sovereign's Sceptre in his right hand with Cross featuring the magnificent Cullinan I diamond and in his left The Sovereign's Orb. This represented his power which is supposedly derived from God.
These pictures echoed the famous 1953 coronation portrait of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. One of the official portraits saw Charles being seated and wearing the Imperial State Crown.
