A royal photographer who captured the newly crowned King Charles has revealed his one regret over the official portrait.
Hugo Burnand, who also snapped Charles and Camilla's wedding pictures in 2005, took a photo of the monarch inside Buckingham Palace's throne room on the day of the Coronation.
Charles was seen wearing his Robe of Estate and Imperial State Crown while holding the Sovereign's Orb and Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross.
Meanwhile, a separate portrait of Queen Camilla shows her wearing Queen Mary's crown and Robe of Estate.
As well as the solo portraits of the King and Queen, Mr Burnand captured one of them together and a group image of the entire working royal family.
He has now reflected on the portraits taken on the day, telling OK! magazine that he had one clear goal - to "keep it real".
Mr Burnand said: "That is the Throne Room. That is the King. That is who you’re getting, there’s no fantasy."
Speaking on his one regret, the photographer said that he didn't manage to capture his own image reflected in the monarch's orb.
He explained: "It was one of the rules - I had to get myself in the job.
"But I took the shot on quite a long lens and I was so far away, so I thought, 'I just have to get over that personal ambition. The only way I can get in there is by cheating.'
"And the reason why I like these photographs is because they are authentic."
And revealing whether he got share a joke with the King, Mr Burnand said: "Yes, but I can’t possibly tell you what. I could make you fall off your chair!"
The traditional portraits were issued alongside a special written message from Charles, as the weekend of festivities came to a close.
The King wrote: "We thank you, each and every one."
Charles said he and Camilla gave "our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped to make this such a special occasion".
He also paid tribute to the "countless people who have given their time and dedication to ensuring that the celebrations in London, Windsor and further afield were as happy, safe and enjoyable as possible".
And the following the first round of official portraits, Charles released a new photograph of himself and his two heirs.
In the photograph, William and George are stood either side of the King and smiling.
Another picture was released last Friday, showing Charles and Camilla with their Pages of Honour and Ladies in Attendance.
The 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.
