A portrait of Queen Victoria with John Brown is to be auctioned. Lovely if it could become part of the Royal Collection

My dear Lumutqueen,
Thanks for posting the link to the article. I don't mean to sound unkind but the portrait of Edward VIII makes him look foppish and not very majestic. Of course, this is only one man's opinion but that is what I think. Didn't Kings at the time wear their military uniforms at the coronations?

No, that is pretty much what his brother George VI wore at his coronation. I suspect Charles III will wear naval uniform.

My dear NGalitzine,
Right you are, thank you for the correction. I guess when I saw photos of the King moving through the Abbey, the robes covered most of what he wore and I just assumed his uniform was underneath. Not a very manly look is it?

Royals' own set of kings and queens paintings revealed - Telegraph
A set of paintings of England’s kings and queens, which has been on display in Buckingham Palace since it was bought by Prince Albert almost 170 years ago, is going on public view for the first time.
The 25 tiny enamels of the country’s monarchs, from Edward III to Victoria herself, have been loaned to a cathedral for a special exhibition to mark the Diamond Jubilee.
Southwell Minster – in the Nottinghamshire town where Charles I spent his last night before surrendering – is putting the unique portraits on show to highlight the role of the sovereign as Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
