The Prince of Wales teased an artist that he always has a “slight worry” before unveiling portraits of himself.
The moment came as Charles took part in a series of engagements with the Duchess of Cornwall at Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland.
Charles and Camilla were introduced to local artist Gareth Reid and his family before the big reveal.
Charles said he had had a “tiny glimpse” of an unfinished version, before joking: “There is always that slight worry when you pull the curtain down,” to laughter from Mr Reid and his family.
He nodded with approval as Camilla stepped closer also nodding, and said “well done”.
The new portrait was commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces for Hillsborough Castle ahead of the official public reopening on April 18.
