Buckingham Palace released official portraits from the coronation, two days after King Charles III and Queen Camilla were crowned at Westminster Abbey. The first portrait that was shared was of His Majesty sitting in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace in full regalia.
A solo portrait of Queen Camilla, as well as a portrait of the King and his wife together were also released on May 8. Their Majesties were joined by members of the royal family in a fourth portrait that was taken by British photographer Hugo Burnand, who took Charles and Camilla’s wedding photos in 2005 and the official wedding photographs of Prince William and Catherine in 2011. The group portrait features working members of the royal family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales .

Alongside the portrait of the royal couple on social media, a message from Charles read: “As the Coronation weekend draws to a close, my wife and I just wanted to share our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped to make this such a special occasion. We pay particular tribute to the countless people who have given their time and dedication to ensuring that the celebrations in London, Windsor and further afield were as happy, safe and enjoyable as possible.”
The monarch continued, “To those who joined in the celebrations - whether at home, at street parties and lunches, or by volunteering in communities - we thank you, each and every one. To know that we have your support and encouragement, and to witness your kindness expressed in so many different ways, has been the greatest possible Coronation gift, as we now rededicate our lives to serving the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and Commonwealth.”
