The latest official Coronation photograph released by Buckingham Palace sends a strong message about the monarchy's next generations.

King Charles III is shown with his son Prince William and grandson Prince George, bringing together the King with those next in the line of succession.

The picture, taken in the palace Throne Room, is part of a set of official photographs taken by Hugo Burnand.

The King is seen wearing the Imperial State Crown and coronation robes.

In these formal portraits, he is pictured carrying the regalia from the Coronation - an orb and sceptre - while sitting in a throne made for the Coronation of Edward VII.

It is an image full of lavish symbolism and regal colours of gold, red and purple.

A second newly released photograph shows King Charles and Queen Camilla with their pages of honour and ladies in attendance.

It shows some of the members of the Queen's family who had roles in last Saturday's Coronation, including her sister Annabel Elliot, her grandsons Freddy Parker Bowles and Gus and Louis Lopes, as well as her great-nephew Arthur Elliot.

The photo of the Royal Family includes the Queen's sister and grandsons

The first set of official Coronation photos showed the King and Queen, but also focused on the "working royals", highlighting those who will be at the centre of royal duties during the King's reign.

There are expected to be more official photographs released as part of a Cabinet Office initiative to provide public buildings with a photographic portrait of the King.

Now that he's finally the Big Dawg, can he fulfill his lifelong dream by declaring himself a tampon?

It seems like people declare themselves to be anything they want to be nowadays, even though they aren't it - "I have a penis, but I'm a woman" - and then you get roundly abused from the reality-denying liberals for pointing out the truth.

Those photos were taken in Buckingham Palace.

Edward VII is the only monarch to have been born and died at Buckingham Palace.

Charles III's brother Prince Andrew was also born at Buckingham Palace (19th February 1960).
