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.

Queen Camilla and King Charles III set out to London’s National Gallery on Tuesday to unveil official coronation portraits two years after the historic ceremony.
