Charles and Queen Camilla used the throne chairs at Westminster Hall to receive addresses from both Houses of Parliament last year.
The King
is pictured wearing the Robe of Estate and the Imperial State Crown and holding
the Sovereign’s Orb and Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross.
In the
photograph, William and George are stood either side of the King and smiling.
The King
has marked his coronation with a new photograph of himself and his two heirs,
the Prince of Wales and Prince George.
The
picture of Charles, alongside his son Prince William and grandson Prince
George, was taken in Buckingham Palace’s throne room on the day he was crowned,
Saturday May 6.
The King
sits in the centre on one of a pair of 1902 throne chairs which were made for
the future King George V and Queen Mary for use at the coronation of King
Edward VII and also used in the background of the 1937 coronation of King
George VI.
Another
picture was released on Friday, showing Charles and Camilla with their Pages of
Honour and Ladies in Attendance.
Also taken
in Buckingham Palace’s throne room on the day of the coronation, the King is
once again wearing his Robe of Estate and Imperial State Crown.
The Queen
is pictured wearing Queen Mary’s crown and Robe of Estate.
The second
photograph features a smiling Prince George, as well the Queen’s grandsons
Freddy Parker Bowles, Gus Lopes and Louis Lopes and great-nephew Arthur Elliot.
Next to
Queen Camilla stands her sister Annabel Elliot and next to the King is the
Marchioness of Landsdowne – who was appointed to the Royal Household as a
Queen’s companion in 2022.
The
remaining three Pages of Honour, Ralph Tollemache, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley and
Nicholas Barclay are stood on the far left of the photograph.
The
photographs were taken by Hugh Burnard, who also took Charles and Camilla’s
wedding pictures in 2005.
The two
newly released photographs follow a series of portraits which were released on
Monday May 8.
The King
and Queen called the nation’s support “the greatest possible coronation gift”
as they released them.
King
Charles issued a statement following the three-day festivities, re-pledging to
a life of service and thanking “countless people” who worked tirelessly to make
sure coronation celebrations went smoothly.
He added:
“To know that we have your support and encouragement, and to witness your
kindness expressed in so many different ways, has been the greatest possible
Coronation gift, as we now rededicate our lives to serving the people of the
United Kingdom, the Realms and Commonwealth.”
