A portrait commemorating King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s visit to Jersey has been unveiled.

The artwork depicts a scene of the royal couple walking around Royal Square after addressing crowds who gathered in heavy rain to see the King and Queen during their visit on 15 July 2024.

The painting was unveiled by the Princess Royal during a ceremony in the Royal Court Building in St Helier while she visited the Jersey on Tuesday.

Artist Jason Butler said he wanted to focus his painting on their “genuine enjoyment” of the occasion.

“The image of them walking through the rain, smiling and engaging with islanders, felt like the truest reflection of that day,” Mr Butler said.

The King’s visit marked the first time a reigning sovereign had been to Jersey since Queen Elizabeth II in 2005.

Bailiff of Jersey Robert MacRae said the portrait would act as a reminder of the visit.

Princess Anne’s visit to Jersey continues on Wednesday.
