Looks to me like Princess Catherine and Queen Consort Camilla have their arms behind their husband's backs.

Beautiful!

This portrait is quite historic, and I think should be turned into a beautiful painting.

Officially, William is only 5" taller than his father (6' 3" vs 5' 10") but it looks like a lot more.

Interesting that the spot chosen for the pose was in front of a painting of King George III.

Why are they called "portraits" and not photos?  I always thought portraits were painted.  I've noticed this on other photos of King Charles.  Is it a British thing?

@grandma2pkmh   You are mistaken.  Portrait photography has been around since the camera was invented.  It's certainly NOT just a British thing.

They all look wonderful in this photo. Especially considering they are in mourning. I think it is a striking picture of the past, present, and future king.

I was wondering the same thing.  It might be a British thing.
