What a good idea, he has all the charisma of a piece of wood, thatā€™s a thumbs up from me :+1:

What is so apparent to most of us here, why did no one in the royal circles have a clue there would be so much room for memes, and jokes over the color red (associated with the devil and hell)ā€¦
It saddens me their own group didnā€™t speak up and out.
Is it because Charles is the king? Surely he has advisersā€¦I mean, besides Camilla :laughing:

Mareeā€™s share tickled me pinkā€¦or red, perhaps! :icon_lol:

I quite like the painting, but think it is out of keeping with an official portrait.

He should be thrilled with the likeness; it makes him look much, much more robust, rugged, and handsome than he really is.

Oh I dunno, I think it does look like him. If I didnā€™t know it was his portrait, Iā€™d still say it bore an uncanny likeness. He does the best he can with what nature gave him just like many do who have the rise taken out of their looks.

Red is a very overpowering colour - might be interesting to see a black and white version to reveal the drawing.

Probably because he is as thick as two short planks. The Windsors have as much an eye for art as a carrot.
