    Default King Charles III Painting

    Just wondering what your opinions are on the new Official Royal King Charles III painting just released. A far cry from the regal portraits from the last 400 years of European Monarchy.
    I like it, but have no idea, or really care, what the butterfly over his right shoulder signifies.

    I'm guessing that if you looked at the rest of the paintings that this artist has done that they would all be similar. It won't be the only painting done of the king through the rest of his life.

    Banksy inspired. Monarch butterfly. Looks like he is in hell.

    Well, the News reported that the King likes it.
    I guess that is all that matters.
    He did look surprised when the cover was taken off for the first time - 4 years in the making.
    I guess I missed something.

    My first impression was that it looked like the possessed painting in Ghostbusters 2.

    The news pundits on one of the week-end shows compared it to Hans Solo Frozen.
    I did not really see the similarity.
