King Charles III marked another first in his reign this week, unveiling the first official portrait of himself since his coronation last year.

The painting features a striking red background and shows Charles wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, of which he was made Regimental Colonel in 1975, according to the palace.

The unexpectedly modern painting and it's bold red tone quickly drew mixed reactions online, including in the comments section of the palace's Instagram post about the portrait.
What are your thoughts about the portrait?

It reminds me of death. I'm surprised he's happy with it, tbh.

It reminds me of Han Solo frozen in carbonite, except with red instead of that charcoal color.

A little strange, but not that bad. The hands look disproportionately large, but maybe that is just the perspective of the photo.
