I’m just curious if anyone understands the symbolism of King Charles latest portrait. I am a noob with regards to this sort of stuff. If anyone can enlighten me on the meaning of all the “red”, I’d appreciate it. I’m aware the obvious meaning is blood. But in what context?

    Man if I was a monarch descended from a long lineage of blood spilling lunatics, and I ordered a nice portrait, I’d be super pissed.

    The King once wished to be Camilla’s tampon, the red represents not only the blood of Camila but all women he has had relations with.
