You can also just ask the gov't for a photo of the reigning monarch. It might take months-to-years to get it.

Does it come with anything official? Otherwise one could just download it from the Internet.

It's just a digital portrait. You can have them mail you one on gloss paper, but you'd have to frame it yourself.

Looks like the official website hasn't yet been updated for King Charles. I bet that will change after his coronation. I suppose anything is better than an NFT...

I wonder if they still send out photos of The Queen, or if now they will just wait until they have an official photo of King Charles.

I visited the official Buckingham Palace shop last month in England. Approximately everything there is still focusing on the Queen. I expect that to change in connection with the coronation.

She's wearing broaches with Canadian symbols. That means she had to wear different ones for every realm!!

I don't believe in the Monarchy but I still miss her. Feels kind of like a 'national mother'.

That's kind of the image she portrayed. She was the continuity for the people, regardless of political infighting and disagreements. I can only hope that Charles and his successors live up to that image.

I did this. It came as a poster intended to be framed. I didn't frame it. Its a nice glossy picture of queen Elizabeth and I opted for her husband too. They mail it to ya. Free!!

Do you hang it pride of place in your home?

I hung it in a place of pride in my office lobby. Left it behind when they laid me off because of COVID. As far as I know, it’s still there.

I don’t think they do that anymore, just digital. However, you can get educational historical posters from the government for free
