The King & The Queen Consort / Re: The King and Queen Officia...

Last post by TLLK - Today at 11:13:03 AM

King Charles has unveiled the first completed official portrait of himself since The Coronation, painted by renowned artist Jonathan Yeo.

The portrait was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales's 50 years as a member of The Drapers' Company.

The portrait depicts His Majesty wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, of which he was made Regimental Colonel in 1975.

The canvas was carefully considered to fit within the architecture of Drapers' Hall and the context of the paintings it will eventually hang alongside. Report by Matthew Covell.

I have admit that I  don't really care for this portrait.  It's on par with the Danish royal family's strange one that was focused on CP Christian.

The Iffy-Wiff Club: Duke and Duchess of Sussex / Re: The Iffy-Wiff Club: Archew...

It isn't only a check.  Archewell failed to submit an annual report as well.  I'm sure there is a staff member(s) who should have taken care of matters, but Harry and Meghan are the founders and public face of Archewell.  It's their organization, so 'the buck stops with them'.  It seems likely that Archewell would have received at least one warning before being declared delinquent, too, so this is pretty sloppy and unprofessional.  It goes back to them having trouble attracting and keeping competent staff.  I don't think either Harry or Meghan has a strong idea of what they're doing.   

Good points Kristen-H. Ultimately this incident doesn't help Archewell's reputation.

The whole thing still smells pretty fishy to me. The Governor commenting didn't help. Almost as if someone had a word

No it doesn't look good at all.  I know that the charity has been losing money but the fee was only $200.00. Why wasn't this taken care if earlier?

Well, if the someone who had a word was either Harry or Meghan they must have a whole lot more power in reality than their detractors have ever assigned to them.
