The Royal Family of Great Britain enchanted with a historical portrait from the Royal Week in Scotland

Members of the Royal Family of Great Britain have once again captured the attention of their subjects and admirers by releasing a new historical portrait taken during the annual Royal Week in Scotland. The official portrait, which appeared on the monarch's Instagram page, instantly became the object of discussion and admiration.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla appeared in royal attire

The picture shows King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Prince Edward, all wearing elegant dark green velvet robes, bulky hats with white feathers and glittering Order of the Thistle badges. Such an outfit is no accident, because the Order of the Thistle is one of the most prestigious and oldest orders in Great Britain.

Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie's absence raised questions

Despite the sophistication and elegance of the portrait, it raised questions among many fans of the royal family. The absence from the photo of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who was also present at the event, did not go unnoticed. Buckingham Palace officials explained that Sophie was not depicted in the portrait because at the time she did not have the title of Lady Thistle, which is necessary to wear the official dress of the order.

What awaits Duchess Sophie?

Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has stressed that Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, could be honored with the honor in the future when King Charles III decides to give her the title of Lady Thistle as a personal gift. This means that in the next official portraits, we may see Sophie in the appropriate outfit.

"Sophie's absence from the portrait does not diminish her role in the royal family. This is a matter of time and traditions, which are associated with the assignment of such titles, " - said the representative of the palace.

In conclusion, this historical portrait not only shows the grace and elegance of the royal family, but also emphasizes the importance of tradition and protocol in the world of monarchy. In the future, we can expect more spectacular photos with all members of the royal family in formal attire.
