Just reading reports that the government are setting some £8 million aside so that every public body might have a copy of the portrait of the new King. In this current economic climate especially how bloody tone-deaf can you get!! I'm sure-if this story is true-that Charles himself would not be impressed.
Now, I'm a bit of a history buff and I like quite a bit of our (at times rather daft ) heritage and traditions and I do think it only right that such public bodies have their portraits of the Queen replaced by one of the new monarch. But at this price?? Surely they could each fund a bloody copy of a framed portrait themselves. What are they, gold framed or something?
