Local authorities across the UK are able to apply for a free portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, the Government announced over the weekend.

The £8m Government-funded scheme will enable councils, courts, schools and other public authorities to claim an official portrait photograph of His Majesty ahead of the Coronation on 6 May.

The chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Oliver Dowden MP, said: ‘We have entered a new reign in our history. Now as we unite in preparing for the splendour of The King’s Coronation, these new portraits will serve as a visible reminder in buildings up and down the country of the nation’s ultimate public servant.

‘They will help us turn a page in our history together – and pay a fitting tribute to our new sovereign. I am sure they will take pride of place in public buildings across the land.’

Chief secretary to the Treasury John Glen said: ‘This scheme will allow thousands of public institutions across the UK to mark this defining moment in our nation’s history with pride.

‘The Coronation of His Majesty the King is an opportunity for the whole country to unite, and these new portraits continue a very British tradition to celebrate this momentous occasion.’
