The medals and awards speak for themselves.
A national holiday means a nice snapshot for fans of the royal family, right? The British royal family certainly thought so, because in honor of Armed Forces Day, a stately portrait of King Charles appeared on the official social media of the royal family.
Military uniform
In the photo we see the British king in full regalia. He wears his military uniform as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Services, a stately suit covered in medals and awards. Not a modest way to show what he has meant to his country, if you ask us. In addition to the numerous medals, King Charles holds a sword, and on the table next to him are the gloves and cap that belong to the uniform. By the way, the king has made himself comfortable, as he sits in a royal chair upholstered in lush green fabric.
Armed Forces Day
The national holiday honors the contributions of veterans, military personnel and their families, and is an annual event. But despite the spectacle being an annual event, this year has a special twist. It is the first official portrait of the king since he returned to work in April. Charles has been out of action for a while after being diagnosed with cancer. We have noticed that the British monarch values ​​his privacy, as we have not been given any further details about his illness.

Military contributions
By the way, we understand the choice for this stately portrait complete with decorations. After all, King Charles himself served in the Navy and Air Force of the United Kingdom in his younger years. For over thirty years he was a colonel in the Army Air Corps, and he recently handed over this important task to his son, Prince William. With such a resume, a stately portrait is certainly appropriate, we think.
