After the grand coronation of King Charles III, he posed for official coronation portraits at Buckingham Palace and the picture are now out. 

Photographer Hugo Burnand got behind the camera for the historic snaps. 

On Monday, the Buckingham Palace released the first official portrait of King Charles. 

For the solo shot, King Charles was wearing the Imperial State Crown and Robe of Estate which is made of purple silk velvet embroidered in gold and was worn by King George VI in 1937, as per the official 'The Royal Family's' website. 

For the portrait, he sat on a throne chair. 

The coronation of King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla took place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, London. During a special King's procession, the royal monarchs travelled in vintage carriages. 

King Charles III's enthronement outfit has broken the typical royal tradition as the majesty arrived in modernised attire for the ceremony. 

According to Page 6 magazine, the King decided to ditch the usual coronation outfit which consists of the silk stockings and breeches. 

Also, the royal monarch was earlier suspected of wearing his military uniform which didn't happen. -- ANI
