The official coronation portrait of Britain’s King Charles was made public on Tuesday, two years after he was crowned, in a tradition dating back more than 400 years to a time when such a painting often became the defining image of a monarch.

The coronation portraits of King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla were officially unveiled Tuesday, two years to the day since the historic coronation. Charles and Camilla were on hand for the portraits' unveiling, which took place at the National Gallery in London.

The King and Queen are hosting the first royal garden party of the season, as they host thousands of guests at Buckingham Palace this afternoon. Camilla looks glamorous in a teal blue crepe silk dress with a cream lace inset by Christian Dior, hat by Philip Treacy and a turquoise and diamond brooch.
