Portrait Artist Reveals King Charles III's Reaction to Red Painting
King Charles portrait artist Jonathan Yeo loves the divided reaction that his painting generated, but notes that Charles ‘smiled approvingly’ at the work
Yeo, 53, shared on the Thursday, May 24, episode of Hello magazine’s “ A Right Royal Podcast ” that Charles saw a mostly finished version of the portrait last year and gave polite approval. Yeo previously told the BBC that Charles was “initially mildly surprised by the strong color but otherwise he seemed to be smiling approvingly.” While the bold use of red divided lay commentators and professional art critics alike, the artist also noted that Queen Camilla was a fan of the ultra-red portrait.
