GB News host Martin Daubney has slammed the new portrait of King Charles claiming that it "looks like Extinction Rebellion already got to it".
It comes after the first official portrait of King Charles since his Coronation was unveiled at Buckingham Palace this afternoon.
The portrait was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022.
Speaking to royal expert Michael Cole, Martin said: "Michael, it's very red to be uncharitable. It looks a bit like Extinction Rebellion might have already got to it."Cole responded:
"Well, of course, it's the Welsh shades. And red is very much part of the tunic. Red is very much part of the Welsh dragon. But you know something?
"This guy is an absolutely brilliant portraitist. When Prince Charles was young, he did a portrait of him sitting in a canvas chair, looking very contemplative at a polo. It was a brilliant portrait.
"He also did that portrait of the two brothers, William and Harry, in their household cavalry uniform, standing together casually. He's absolutely wonderful."
He later added: "But I think it's rather strange. You get the portrait of the King looking out in monochrome, almost, from this sea of red."
