  • The King and Queen hosted a reception where they met 10 people whose faces have been immortalised in paint marking the 75th anniversary of arrival of the Empire Windrush. Charles and Camilla chatted and joked with the elders, who sat for the portraits which were painted by black artists personally selected by the King. At one point Charles joked with Alford Gardner, who was a subject of one of the works, saying “it’s sometimes awful having to look at your own portrait”. Report by Matt Blair.

    Charles, like his mother, has a natural gift of putting people at ease when he's talking to them. He is also actually quite funny.

      Not so gracious to the Windrush generation. Or Grenfell and that happend in his manor. I bet od it was white upper class folks who got burnt out, then it would of been all hands on deck. And not one of you has mentioned Windrush and how all those folks rebuilt your country. #notmyking #englandisinherentlyracist

    King Charles III meeting the sitter, the portrait and the painter. He took note of the extent to which the painter painted the details of the sitter in the portrait. King Charles III knows about the patience one must have when sitting for a portrait. Now the Windrush sitters can be honored in Art and for him to acknowledge them is just stupendous 😀

    I have no idea how to be that chatty in a very real and comfortable( yet you also see a lot of humor with KC III) way with complete strangers. It amazes me to see the king so aptly being kind, sincere, intelligent, funny and Yet still being the Monarch. All the RF have this remarkable gift, but here we see once again that besides The Queen, it is KC III that is a genuine author of class. He is indeed quite a good guy and a good king.

    I understand that 492 passengers arrived in 1948. I can see people seeking asylum or working or educating themselves abroad but to take up permanent residence & squeeze out the people who must reside especially in a small country (I'm trying to say it delicately) would seem dubious. Those questions like who am I, where do I belong should follow. Why must he have a painting of this size? I'm baffled. No harm intended.
