The King and Queen unveil new portraits commemorating their coronation

New portraits of the King and Queen, commissioned to commemorate their coronation in 2023, have been unveiled.

The two separate full-length paintings of Charles and Camilla were made by artists Peter Kuhfeld and Paul Benny, respectively.

The artists were personally chosen by the King and Queen, who were joined at the unveiling by Camilla's daughter Laura Lopes.

Mr Kuhfeld, who has known the monarch for more than 40 years, added he hopes his depiction of Charles captured both "the man and the King".

Mr Benny also said about the Queen: "She said nothing but wonderful things about it, more importantly Laura liked it - you know when the kids like it, you're probably on the right track."

Their portraits will be hung in the National Gallery until 5 June, before moving to their permanent home in Buckingham Palace's Throne Room.

On 6 May two years ago, the monarch and his wife were crowned at Westminster Abbey, in a ceremony watched by millions.

Charles, 76, was the country's longest-serving heir to the throne, ascending after Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022.
