King Charles, Prince of Wales, and Prince George are featured in a newly released coronation portrait that highlights the line of succession for the royal family.
This photograph holds significant meaning as it symbolizes continuity and a confirmed future for the monarchy.
The last time a similar portrait was released was in 2020 when the late Queen Elizabeth posed with her three generations of heirs to mark the beginning of a new decade.
The portrait was taken in the throne room of Buckingham Palace, shortly after Charles was crowned at Westminster Abbey last Saturday.
During the ceremony, Prince William pledged his loyalty to his father, while Prince George, third in line to the throne, played a significant role as a page of honor to the king.
In the portrait, King Charles is seen wearing the robe of estate and the imperial state crown, holding the sovereign's orb and sovereign's scepter with a cross.
He sits on one of the pair of 1902 throne chairs originally used by the Prince and Princess of Wales during the coronation of King Edward VII.
Another photograph captures King Charles and Queen Camilla alongside their pages of honor and ladies in attendance.
Among the king's pages are Prince George, Ralph Ptolemais, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, and Nicholas Barclay.
Queen Camilla chose her grandsons Freddie Parker Bowles, twins Gus and Louis Lopez, and her great-nephew Arthur Elliot to accompany her.
Queen Camilla is seen wearing Queen Mary's crown and robe of estate in the portrait.
She is flanked by her sister, Annabelle Elliot, and the Marchioness of Lansdowne, who has been a companion to the Queen since 2022.
Renowned photographer Hugh Bernard, who previously captured Charles and Camilla's wedding pictures in 2005, took these portraits.
The significance of this particular photo is that it may deeply affect Prince Harry.
It reinforces the notion that Harry has become irrelevant within the royal family.
He is no longer even considered the spare, as he has been replaced by a nine-year-old boy, Prince George.
The pride radiating from Prince George in the portrait is evident.
Over the years, royal experts have suggested that Harry harbors a jealous streak, with his envy often directed towards his older brother, William.
However, recent reports indicate that this rivalry has extended to include young Prince George, which is rather unsettling.
According to Valentin Lowe, author of the biography “Courtiers,” Harry was fixated on the idea that the arrival of his first-born nephew would eventually render him obsolete within the family.
He believed he had a limited time to make an impact before George turned 18, after which he would be overshadowed.
This rivalry between Harry and George seems to stem from a long-held competition between Harry and William.
Tina Brown, an American journalist and friend of the late Princess Diana, revealed that Harry's jealousy towards his brother was often vented to his ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Davy.
The friction between the brothers escalated due to their differing professional paths, as claimed by Tina.
While William understands Harry's feelings of jealousy growing up, given his seniority in the family, dragging George into it is seen as crossing a line.
William and Kate have gone to great lengths to protect and prepare George for his future role as king.
It is disheartening for the young prince to be subjected to hurtful comments from his adult uncle, according to insiders.
At his age, Prince George is aware of the hurtful sentiments expressed by Harry, especially now that they have been splashed across the newspapers.
It is unlikely that William will allow Harry to have any involvement with George moving forward, given the circumstances.
