New photos of King Charles and Camilla released ahead of Coronation – including previously unseen student photo

THREE new photos of the King and Queen Consort have been released ahead of the coronation — along with a previously unseen portrait from Charles’s student days.

The first of the new pictures shows the couple standing side by side in front of a portrait of King George V.

Charles, 74, is dressed in a blue Anderson & Sheppard suit, with a blue tie and a white Turnbull & Asser shirt.

Camilla, 75, wears a blue wool crepe coat dress from British designer Fiona Clare, the late Queen’s pearl drop earrings set adorned with sapphire and ruby gemstones and a pearl necklace from her private collection.

Two other photographs show Charles and Camilla seated individually.

They were all taken in the palace’s blue drawing room last month by photographer Hugo Burnand — who also took Charles and Camilla’s wedding photos in 2005.

Meanwhile, a portrait of Charles as a student has been released for the first time.

It was taken in 1967 at his matriculation at the University of Cambridge.

Charles was at Trinity College where he studied archaeology, anthropology and history.

He graduated in 1970 with a 2:2.

The picture has been preserved in Trinity College’s archives since it was taken.
