We have learned that His Royal Nibs, Charles the Three has had his Official Portrait done.
Umm.
I wouldn’t have chosen that one, personally.
The Internet, of course, is making hay out of the windfall from Buckingham Palace, and I couldn’t resist putting my two cents worth in:
That was probably mean of me, but I couldn’t resist.
Ah, well.
LawDog
Mein Gott….
That portrait looks like an aged General Thomas Gage stepping out of the fiery pits of Hell to take a second crack at subduing the American colonies.
Which actually kind of matches some of the negatives I’ve heard of King Chuckie III’s personality.
In another color scheme, he might look kindly and wise. In this one he looks “benevolently malevolent”. The kind where he’s enslaving and killing you for your own good.
Yea, I would not have gone with that one.
Meh…
Another attempt to look hip and relevant. It looks more like the rejected cover art from a trashy novel.
Not classy and bad taste, but not deserving of the kind of faeces that people are throwing at KC3 or the institution. Shit-throwing says more about the monkeys doing the throwing, than their target
Protest proof, since it looks like the anti-fur people have already gotten to it.
Blood for the Blood King.
To me, it looks like he’s fading into the background.
Unclear if that’s a subtle statement by Charles and/or the artist about the future of the monarchy, or an acknowledgement by Charles of just how short the reign of a 75-year-old man battling cancer is likely to be, but the thought is a little sobering.
