Two new portraits celebrating the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in 2023 have finally been revealed at the National Gallery — and people all seem to be saying the same thing.

Charles’ painting was done by Peter Kuhfeld, an artist who has worked with him for many years and even painted Princes William and Harry when they were kids. Camilla, now 77, was painted by artist Paul Benny.

After the buzz and backlash around Charles’ first official portrait by Jonathan Yeo, which was shown in 2024, royal fans were clearly excited to see the newest portraits — officially made public today (6 May).

However, it’s clear that not everyone was happy with the new portrait of 76-year-old King Charles. Many people took to social media to say it looked “blurry” and wasn’t nearly as good as Queen Camilla’s.

One user on X wrote: “Charles’s portrait looks like a Wallace and Grommet [sic] character – you can imagine it hanging in Wallace’s house. Camilla’s portrait is lovely.”

Another added: “His face is very blurry. Camilla’s portrait was giving more presence and depth than Charles’s.”

A third person joked: “King Charles portrait looks like he’s from 1700s lol.”
