New Coronation portrait shows King Charles III with his two direct heirs

Buckingham Palace has released two new additional images from the Coronation.

The first photo features King Charles III with his two heirs: the Prince of Wales and Prince George.

The image was taken in the Throne Room with the King in full regalia, wearing the Robe of Estate and Imperial State Crown; he is sitting in a throne chair made for the 1902 Coronation of King George V.

Prince George, 9, is the first future monarch to actively take part in a coronation; the young royal served as a Page of Honour for his grandfather during his 6 May Coronation at Westminster Abbey.
