What critics say about the new portrait of the King and Queen

King Charles III Tatler
  • A new portrait of King Charles and Queen Camilla, painted by Phillip Butah, will be featured on the cover of Tatler magazine.
  • The portrait, based on a photograph by Millie Pilkington, celebrates the royal couple's 20th wedding anniversary.
  • It has drawn criticism on social media, with some questioning the King's likeness. One critic suggested the King’s eyes were more similar to those of former US president Joe Biden.
  • This follows a previous Tatler cover featuring the Princess of Wales, which also faced criticism.
  • Butah believes this is the first time the royal couple has been painted together for a magazine cover.
