What a beautiful painting, reflecting his majesty’s true spirit
The face is what strikes me first. It's like Charles is emerging from the background. It is all about the man, not the king. I like it!
Yes, the face with the color of a corpse floating in blood. I can see 8 devilish faces besides the monarch butterfly above his right shoulder. Those who know about symbols know what the portrait of the Woke king means. Well, he said in an interview that he was proud to be descendant of Dracula, and he have a huge state close by his ancestor place in Romenia....
The butterfly is a Monarch, I love the portrait.
When I first saw the unveiling of the portrait of King Charles, I was firstly Shocked, then followed a mixture of feelings. However the more I see it, the more I like it, standing away from it obviously enhances what is there. Very different but symbolic. Great to see some artists not afraid to step away from the traditional for a change. There have been some truly awful ones of Queen Elizabeth over the years. Thus does not fall into that category. Yes, I like it.
I was, at first, shocked and confused by the painting of King Charles. However, like you, it began to grow on me. It's as if he's stepping out of flames. Perhaps it's saying he's been refined by the flames and made stronger. Not sure, but I think I like it.
I really like the style that this artist paints in. Very dynamic, ethereal and colorful.
Fantastic final day of the Danish state visit to Norway. Loved the diverse engagements and everyone looked great! Queen Mary looked wonderful throughout the visit and showed you can accomplish a state visit in repeat and reworked outfits! Only 1 blouse and skirt was never before seen! Love it! Next up for them and their kids...the Royal Run on the 20th.
I'm sorry to have to say this..but I find this portrait bloody Creepy!!!..What comes to my mind is "Leland Gaunt"..a malevolent character in Stephen King's "Needful Things"..Demonical!!!..
Like you Alexandra, i was quite surprised at the portrait of King Charles III at the unveiling -- but ONLY because I was expecting something more traditional and lifelike and ..... boring. That is a fault of my expectations -- not the artist's fault. Like you, the more I look at it, the more I like it. It is not a photograph or a postage stamp. It is deeply thought-provoking.
But unlike you, I really like the inclusion of a butterfly and do not find it "cheesy" at all. I interpret it to be a reference to the King's interest in ecology and the environment. But I think only the King or the artist can say exactly what the symbolism is.
An amazing portrait! It shows his extraordinary life in so many ways. Well done 👏🏼
I love the likeness of King Charles in the RED! It’s probably the best I’ve seen of his face in a painting. I love the detail of his red uniform/clothing (it took me a while to actually see it though). I’m less in love with the background being mostly red.
I like it! It is different but very Royal!
Did they expect Charles to be clad in an ermine-lined cape and sword, seated on a ramping horse, with spaniels surrounding him? 🫤
No but it should have been a portrait of him in his uniform respectfully as the monarch has done through centuries this is ridiculous he looks like he's going up in flames who makes a portrait like that and the artist needs to go and lay down and take a nap
Hans Holbein is spinning in his grave!
He IS wearing a uniform! Irish Guards I believe. Take another look!!
I find it bold, provocative and intriguing.
Such an accomplished artwork.
That picture looks demonic and it's a bloody mess that's embarrassing
I like the portrait of King Charles. At first, I was shocked by the color but as I looked at his face,I warmed up to it.
Beautiful photo of Prince Albert and family. Princess Caroline looks so lovely, too.
All the red in the King's portrait rather disturbs me--it can be seen in so many ways.
Love those Scandanavian Royals!
Hello Alexandra as always hope you are well. Thank you for the updates on people we love to heard from. Oh dear I will reserve my personal thoughts on King Charles new portrait. He is not on my favorite of Kings list 😬 Love to see Queen Maxima she brights up any room 🌟. Congratulations Prince Albert of Monaco; his family is so beautiful and I liked Caroline was with him on a very special occasion. King Frederick and Queen Mary State visit ended, it looks like it was a great success. Till next time take care. Elizabeth in Texas.
I too like the unveiled portrait of King Charles III.
I think the portrait is a great success. It's simultaneously contemporary and traditional.
You must be out of your mind anybody looks at that picture thinks admit evil even with the butterfly on on the shoulder it's ridiculous and it'll never be admired as a great portrait it needs to be replaced
As for the portrait.… at first, I was a little shocked, but the more I look at it I’m liking it more and more
I do like the King's portrait !
That pitch painting is very disturbing and you know it very disturbing it's like the monarchy has gone up in flames which it has long ago
it is an horrendous portrait - the artist seems to have been trying too hard to do something different in royal portraiture, but ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ There is an established, dignified, genre and the challenge for the artist is to master and excel within that genre. If I was the King, I would be sighing a sigh of relief that it doesn’t have to hang at Buckingham Palace!
horrid painting by any standards...demonic......was that the intent?????😮
The new portrait of the king is beautiful, totally unexpected.
Thank you for bringing us such an amazing video. I love to get news from the Royals.
My pleasure, Kenia! 🙂
Its different from the traditional portrait. I love the butterfly. The controversy about it is ridiculous.
I am so glad you provided that comment about the portrait of King Charles III! These conspiracy theorist are getting out of hand. As always, Alexandra great and enlightening video! ❤❤ top shelf!
It is a very interesting portrait and gives one pause. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I confess that when I saw the painting of King Charles III I was quite perplexed, and I found the painting frightening. And, I tried to find some information from the statements of its author: the British painter , Jonathan Yeo . Then I learned that: 1. The painting was painted in the presence of the King, during 4 sessions, while the King was dressed in the Military Uniform of the Gallic Guard. Prince Charles was appointed Regimental Colonel of the Welsh Guards in 1970.
2. The King chose to place a Butterfly on his shoulder representing his long-standing defense of the Cause of Environmental Protection, a note that the King wanted to remain as a message for the Young People of the future. 3. It should be noted that, in the middle of the huge red picture, we see an imposing figure of King Charkes III. Perhaps this combination is justified by yet another justification of the painter about the characteristics of this painting, and I quote, " The Portrait represents exactly who he is, everything he stands for, and everything he's been through."4.
The painting will be on public display at the Philip Mold Gallery from May 16th until June 14th. It will then be on display at Draper's Hall from the end of August, along with paintings of other Monarchs, namely of Queen Victoria . 5. I also read that the Queen liked the painting, and that she made the following comment "Yes, you got it “
I think the new portrait is a wonderful, thought provoking, portrait of this wise eyed man who happens to be KIng, surrounded by complexity but pointed towards the man.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was disturbed by the king's portrait. But the more I looked at it the less I hate it. It's actually beautiful. I was so sick of the same old portraits of the monarchs so it's about time to have a new one.
No you're not the only one everybody's disturbed about this majority of us are he better get this straight cause it's the monarchy going up in flames and that butterfly on the shoulder the butterflies on fire too
@pollycipher, I agree with you. I love the way his face emerges from the background. The butterfly was added late in the process, after the King acceded to the throne, and I think I read that it was the King's idea. Since the painting was largely done while he was the Prince of Wales, he chose to be shown wearing Welsh Guards uniform.
Thank you for your video it's very informative!! 😊
The portrait was an initial shock, but I agree, it does grow on you.
I love King Charles. But about that portrait...I'll never live long enough to understand the artists' motivation.
wow amazing of HM King Charles III of the United Kingdom’s portrait and I would love to meet the whole British royal family one day in my lifetime ❤
Spare me your banality with your fame wanting self this painting looks like he's going up in flames with a butterfly on fire 2 on his shoulder this is ridiculous he should have been paying attention to what color that painting was it should have shown him in his uniform respectfully to his people this is ridiculous he's a laughing stock right now people are laughing
@myrtlemoore7611 do you know what a run-on sentence is?
Agreed on the portrait.
Different, I like it very much!
Very different approach regarding the painting,- the first thing I noticed was the King's head, it stood out. The uniformed body then became visible, slowly emerging from the red. The butterfly looks like a Monarch, obvious but appropriate. I really like it, it's fresh, vibrant, challenging and thought provoking.
I love the portrait! Is something different. But I don’t like the butterfly.
I love the painting!
J’aime beaucoup le portrait du roi Charles ❤
great portrait
I find the Kings portrait to be intriguing, thought provoking, beautiful and I believe it is something of the King’s taste.
I think the king knew what expected him and most probably he likes it. I do not like it at all and there is no phoenix. To me it is burning the kingdom (away)
I wish France was a Monarch today.
Its so sad & such a shame its not anymore.
👑⚜️👑 😔🙏🤲➕✝️💐
⚜️⚜️
As a proud Dane, I am so pleased with the 2 recent trips, to visit our neighbors! ❤💙 It warms my heart to see the ease of the familiar ties, that the smiles and hugs reflect...
KCIII's portrait is beautiful, but I don't like the painting itself...not a preference, as it's too vague even from a shorter distance away.
Let's hope the public gets to stand really close!
hello from Denmark 🌸
Hej, Zandain! I hope all is well with you.🙂💐
I must admit, I wished the State visit to Norway lasted one more day.
It’s stunning
Have to agree with you except that I cannot get use to the new painting of King Charles III.
Love the new portrait of the King.
I don't know how you love that portrait because it looks mid evil like the monarchy is going up in flames red is fire that's not a good fire they're gonna have to replace that painting cause it's always gonna be known as the painting for mail
Is always going to be known as the painting from hell
I like the portrait.
I like the Royal portrayed. I like the butterfly too. ❤
I'm with you! I like it!
When I first saw it on the thumbnail I thought "where is the rest of him? I just see a head". It is a bit better as a close up but still needs contrast.
Loved seeing the four Royals at the start traversing through the great outdoors. Made for a refreshing change. As for the portrait of King Charles, I'm not exactly a fan. The portrait was well done and the likeness was great, yet I found that the background being red also, just overwhelmed the painting. I'm an artist myself, not professional but an artist all the same. We will all interpret art in many different ways and have our own feelings about what we see. I thought the word "aggressive" summed up the entire painting well. It pushed the boundaries too much in my opinion. It simply wasn't necessary to contain so much red, as all it did was take over the painting. Many see the colour red as a colour that represents anger and this is far from what King Charles represents. The butterfly was completely corny, but at least it wasn't brilliant red too! I'm sorry, but this is not to my liking as a painting in its entirety.
Alexandra, what tiara is that you use for your Channel? Is it a Royal Tiara and if so, from where? Thank you, Kris.🇦🇺💖👩🏼🎨
Thank you Alexandra. Queen Maxima and Queen Mathilde each support their respective countries in all aspects of life - they both seem so down to earth and willing to have a go at anything. Lovely Empress Masako - respectful and kind as always. I always pictured Norway covered in snow - that hiking trail looked amazing - great to see the Danish royals enjoying beautiful Norway. 🇦🇺
You're so welcome, Ruth!🙂 I must say, that I am so happy that Empress Masako has been quite active with official engagements these past few months. She looks happy, relaxed and confident.🙂💐
Thanks also for letting me know where it will be displayed! I am off to Drapers Hall. I think it will be fantastic in reality at 7 feet tall!
Art is supposed to provoke, unsettle, question our world. The artist must be over the moon. Red is a colour guys, chill.
Here, here . . . beautifully said.
Henry the Eighth would have known what to do with this horrific portrait & its wacky "artiste"🥺
I do not think art should provoke at all. The red provokes a lot the way he has made it. I do not want to see the portrait because the red color there is like demonds in my perception. I do not think anyone deserves this, and I think it is unfair and cruel with no reason. I mean, when I see the portrait I am scared, and I am not able to view it other way. I do not want to see it at all. Those who look at it as beautiful should remember that the fallen angel was the most beautiful of all of them and he is in the red. The portrait is an open gate for that angel to enter your mind, and that is why His Majesty had that reaction. Please take it away from everywhere. There are people like me that need care for mental health.
Absolutely art should provoke and challenge. What other profession besides politics is criticised so much. The artist can in explain it to you but he can’t understand it for you. I love it
thank you again...
Always welcome, K! Happy Thursday!🙂💐
The triumph of King Charles’ portrait is how perfectly the artist captured his face ( in my opinion). After the initial shock of the style & color, the face is the most memorable aspect and everything else just draws your attention to it. I think it’s brilliant!
Alexandra nice video and nice potrait of King Charles.
Thank you, Maria!🙂
What a lovely last day of the visit, lots of activities. I ❤️ to see the royals interacting with the children! Q.Sonya being very colorful, looks good on her. And YAY, C.P. Haakon with a regular 1 button jacket 🤗😉 I agree the portrait at first look, just looks like a head popping out of the canvas. Surprised that the king went for something so modern. Also I believe I had read that K.Charles has started the sittings B4 he became king. I enjoyed your portrait commentary!! A state visit is always nice, but France doesn't do tiaras, bummer 😯😔 P.Albert cuts a ribbon, but hey no plaques? 😁 TY Alexandra.....
My pleasure!
By the way, I do believe we may have more plaque unveiling in the coming months from Prince Albert II. Sometime this summer in Monaco the 5th Edition of the Sites Historique Grimaldi de Monaco gathering will take place in Monaco-Ville, and typically The Sovereign Prince unveils a giant new commemorative plaque. I'm looking forward to it🙂
I love the painting! Not the butterfly! I have never seen anything like it! Loved it right away❤
AS EVELYN WAUGH SAID, THEY CAN JOLLY WELL GO TO THE BLAZES!
I love the new portrait; it’s ground breaking for royal portraiture and stunning. I realize that not everyone shares that opinion. I predict that it’ll create conversation and controversy for about a decade (which is not necessarily a bad thing) and then be viewed as a modern masterpiece by future generations. We didn’t need another royal portrait that looked like every other one. This one has everyone’s attention. I’m happy to hear that you also like it.
The portrait is exciting -not the same old boring painting. However I find some of it odd. The size of his hands in the foreground compared to his head. At first I thought the color signified the artist thought the monarchy had blood on their hands but then I realized his hands were normal in color. It is quite a baffling painting which makes it exciting. The butterfly I thought maybe was a nod to the late queen like she was looking over his shoulder. I just really don’t know about the butterfly. It’s odd. lol
The portrait will definitely go down in history. That’s for sure 😅
I personally don’t like it, but the more I see it the less unsettling it becomes.
At 3 calls people are laughing about this portrait they said he looked mid evil and he's going up in flames and the butterfly on his shoulders is crying because he's inflamed too he should have been paying attention to this portrait painting guy to let him have that much power to betray him like that is embarrassing to his country and to all of us boom It's a bloody mess it's what it is
Thank goodness there is someone who has actually given time to this painting and gets it!! I am completely on the same page as you on this. I get a 3-D element and rather than it being gloomy I see it more as the return of the conquering hero! Yes totally with you on the Monarch butterfly - yes, we know!!!
I think the artist captured the real King Charles: wistful, pained, experienced, hopeful, resigned. It's a very unique royal portrait if nothing else! I enjoy seeing the Norwegian & Danish royals together & Crown Princess Mette -Marit looks so fit after her recent health issues, it's lovely to see. The two younger royal couples seem to really enjoy keeping company with each other, I wonder if their children know each other? Hmm...my mind wanders to a possible friendship between Ingrid of Norway & Christian of Denmark someday lol. Lastly, Queen Maxima is one of my favorite style icons & she never fails to knock it out of the park, but I LOVE the green ruffled tiered belted dress that Queen Sonja wore on the boat. She won fashion of the day IMO!. P.S. We are 22 days out from the Grosvenor wedding!
I don’t think the butterfly is cheesy. To me it highlights the fragility of nature which the King has spent much of his life trying to preserve. The only issue I have with the painting is that his ears are not painted correctly, and as a consequence he looks more like his father than himself. The kings sticking out ears are one of his most recognisable features.
I’m surprised at myself, I like it.
⚜️⚜️⚜️
I liked the portrait right away. I even like the butterfly.
Horrible is the only comment that comes to mind.
Is King Charlie's portrait suppose to symbolize the blood of people who suffered under colonialism and slavery, in addition to the sufferings of the lower classes in the UK? That is what rings out to me. I wonder what his family thinks of it? Definitely, an impressionist and abstract work of art. I think the butterfly represents hope and renewal.
7:36 what are buffer men? Excuse my ignorance. Please love my comment so I'm notified
Hi, Elaine, how are you? Well, I hope.🙂💐
Regarding your question, some conspiracy theorists online have said there are "bad Masonic symbols" in the portrait; moreover, if you display the portrait side by side the viewer can see Baphomet.
It's all silly nonsense.
Oh ok. Thank you for relying. I am very open minded and tbh I'm not so quick to put things down to nonsense. I just watched in full The Royal Grift latest video. Nothing would surprise me. There is a mention of this portrait.
You're welcome! 🙂💐
He is covered in blood in that portrait.
My biggest problem with that portrait is the uniform he's wearing is also red so the whole thing looks horrible. Is like he's just a disembodied head floating
Sorry other than his face, I am not fond of the King’s portrait. It is too red for me. Not a conspiracy person but for me symbolizes evil. Sorry my opinion
About the portrait: maybe if the face wasn't painted to look like it is diseased, I would like it.
Alexandra I agree with you 100% the butterfly kills
Portrait? Not a fan
I love the Scandinavian royals, they seem so warm. They hug, they hold hands, etc. While the Brits seem not so warm. Very seldom do you them hug or embrace or hold hands.
Stereotype - yawns!
I really tried to like the King's portrait. His little, red sausage fingers, which he hates, are front and centre. Ouch! An excellent rendering of his head and facial features. All that red stuff is more about the artist than the subject. The butterfly seems like an after thought and a symbol which has been over-used. Meh!
What a strange portrait, for strange times. Hell now is unleash over the earth. The butterfly is change. Everything is changing. A great pain over the world so a new order will be imposed.
Well, I didn't like it.
At first I saw everything red and I didn't understand anything.
It might be because I don't know anything about art.
But red is annoying, I see it as very bloodthirsty, very rude.
It is a matter of taste and knowledge of art, in itself. If the king likes it, that's fine.
After listening to your opinion, I make some sense in it.
A phoenix that is reborn, but at the same time, ephemeral and a lover of nature.
I think it tries to show the experience achieved during life, but at the same time how short it can be.
In the face of difficulties, a familiar face and a helping hand can help.
Sorry, that's what I perceive from the portrait. As I said, I don't know anything about art, so I could be wrong.
Thank you very much for giving your opinion, it helped me understand something, the image.
It took me by surprise. It looks bloody to me.
Good Evening Alexandra ❤. I don’t like King Charles. Portrait @ all ! It’s seams Diabolical 😮
The new portrait of KC3 is totally out of the box! :) Charlene's jacket looks poorly tailored. And how many outfits did Mary wore for the three-day visit? I lost account.
Queen Mary wore 7 outfits, only one of which consisted of new pieces. The rest were repeats and her state banquet gown was a rework of a previously worn gown.
Not me this painting was made from the grave by Princess Dianna for the way she was treated behind her back with u know who ?so it is paid back time
WHO painted that PORTRAIT!!!!!
Mr. Jonathan Yeo. I really like his work.
www.jonathanyeo.com/
The artist seems to have captured the psyche of Charles that he likes to keep hidden. Mean and petty.
Intrigued! It is a piece of trash.
