Smiling assuredly into the camera, they are three kings present and future.
Charles III, his son, Prince William, and grandson, Prince George of Wales, pose together in a stunning - and historic - new coronation portrait, seen here for the first time.
The last occasion anything similar was released was when the late Queen Elizabeth posed with her three generations of heirs in 2020 to mark the start of the new decade.Now she has sadly gone, but the message is still the same: continuity and a future confirmed.
Taken by society photographer Hugo Burnand last Saturday following the King’s coronation, His Majesty is seated in the Throne Room in full regalia including

He's holding The Holy Handgrenade of Antioch!
For those unfamiliar with Monty Python lore:
The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch was a weapon in Brother Maynard's keeping. According to the Book of Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one, it was consecrated by Saint Attila.
The scriptural account in the Book of Armaments:
"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
King Arthur had the Holy Hand Grenade brought out during the battle against the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

Historic? Like a black lesbian working for a dementia patient?

Is it me, or does Charles look like death warmed over?

If I recall, one of the things that set Harry Markle off a few years back was the picture of QEII with Charles, William and George. He was quite chapped that he wasn't included. The one of Charles, William and George probably got him slamming doors and throwing things all over the Montecito house.

Yes, start planning Wills.
Include a yuge tribute to your mother. Give her the honor she deserves.

I just love the way that Americans who hate foreigners commenting on their politicians way of life etc seem to think that they have the right to comment on ours. I’ll take our system over yours any day so butt out.

Accidents of birth are the main reason that most countries eventually threw out their kings and changed forms of government. The only reason the royals still exist in Britain is because they attract tourist dollars.

Oh dear, is that what passes for a smile with Charles? Seriously, this picture does him no favors. He looks a little tipsy wearing too many clothes and with a silly hat on his head. Will and George look great, tho.

Sad to say, but once again Nathan Hale rolls over in his grave at the attention we pay to these worthless twits.
