King Charles’ new portrait has got the internet buzzing, and let me tell you, the memes are rolling in hot and hilarious! The moment this portrait hit the Royal Family’s social media, it was game on for meme creators everywhere. People couldn’t resist comparing the 75-year-old monarch to some pretty memorable characters, like Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters, Dracula, and even the frozen Han Solo from Star Wars.
The British Royal Family posted Charles III’s new portrait with a rather formal caption: “Today, The King unveiled a new portrait by @RealJonathanYeo at Buckingham Palace.” They continued with, “The painting – commissioned by The Draper’s Company – is the first official portrait to be completed since His Majesty’s Coronation. The painting will hang in Draper’s Hall in London.” But let’s be real – while the official announcement was all regal and grand, the internet had other plans. The memes range from downright silly to creatively clever, proving once again that nothing escapes the sharp eyes and quicker wit of the online community.
