The first picture of King Charles’s official bust has been revealed, according to the British media.
Quoting the sculptor, The Telegraph wrote that the first bust of the King to be commissioned since his accession will depict his thoughtfulness.
The newspaper reported that the bronze bust was commissioned by the King’s Foundation to mark its 35th anniversary and will be on permanent display at its Dumfries House headquarters in Scotland.
It said the idea for the bust arose during discussions about how best to mark the anniversary among staff, students and alumni.
King Charles, who is undergoing treatment for a form of cancer, succeeded his mother Queen Elizabeth II on the British throne after her death on Sept. 8 2022, becoming king of not just the United Kingdom, but also Australia, Canada, New Zealand and 11 other countries.
Charles had always wanted a slimmed down monarchy but after his younger son Harry moved to the United States, and his brother Andrew was forced to step back from public engagements over his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, meaning there are about a dozen active royals.
