I think it is revolting - all that red is so aggressive.  He should have commissioned our Muddy and had a proper one done!

it's rubbish. A portrait is supposed to convey something of the character of the subject. Look at the great portraits, whether photo or painting. Very, very few have a full frontal face devoid of expression - if one can ignore the dominating red paint, it is a passport photo- and not a very good one as the features are somewhat elongated.
Thank you for the days, the days you gave me

I only wish I could paint like Jonathan Yeo !

Red is really unusual in a portrait it does suggest anger maybe old Charles had some burning anger inside .

He's king now but it's all come a bit too late .
