Photo: King Charles III and his heirs Prince of Wales, Prince George of Wales

The royal family has released official portraits marking the coronation of King Charles III.

The photos feature the King alongside his direct heirs, Prince William and Prince George.

One image shows the King and Queen with the participants of the coronation ceremony.

The succession to the throne follows a specific order based on old and new laws.

After the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William became the next in line. Prince George, his son, is second in line, followed by Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The released images capture King Charles in regal attire, seated on his throne with his heirs by his side, symbolizing the continuity of the monarchy.

The King’s second son, Harry, Duke of Sussex, is fifth in line to the throne.

The second image features the two ladies in attendance on the day of the coronation — the Marchioness of Lansdowne and Queen Camilla’s sister Annabel Elliot — standing either side of the royal couple, while Prince George stands with other pages including Ralph Tollemache, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Nicholas Barclay, the Queen’s grandson Freddy Parker Bowles, the Queen’s great-nephew Arthur Elliot, and the Queen’s grandsons Gus Lopes and Louis Lopes.

This image was also taken in the Throne Room on the day of the coronation.

The photographs were taken by royal photographer Hugo Burnand, who also took the King and Queen’s wedding portrait in 2005. 

The new images follow a number of images released by the royal family earlier this week, including the first official portrait of King Charles after his coronation at Westminster Abbey.
