New portrait of King Charles and Queen Camilla with Princes William and Edward confuses subjects and royal family fans. Photo

Members of the British royal family shared a historic portrait taken during the annual Royal Week in Scotland. The photo shows King Charles III and Queen Camilla with Princes William and Edward.

Representatives of Buckingham Palace were dressed in Order of the Thistle traditional garb, Hello writes. The official portrait, which the monarchs posted on their Instagram, sparked a discussion among their subjects and fans.

The royal family members are depicted wearing dark green velvet robes, large hats with white feathers, and the shiny insignia of the Order of the Thistle.

Despite the good looks of the photo, it raised questions among people who follow the lives of monarchs. They noticed that the Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie, who also attended the gala, was not there.

Buckingham Palace explained that the representative of the British royal family was not depicted in the portrait because she could not wear the official uniform of the Order as she does not yet hold the title of Lady Thistle. She may be awarded this honor when the King makes this personal gift.
