Women were not admitted into the Order until 1971.
Just last week, new official portraits of King Charles and Queen Camilla were revealed at the National Gallery.
Commemorating their 2023 coronation, Charles’ portrait — at age 76 — was painted by Peter Kuhfeld. Meanwhile, 77-year-old Camilla was portrayed by artist Paul Benny.
Still, it was one particular detail painted over his right shoulder that really got people talking online, with many flocking to social media to share their theories.
One Facebook user asked, “Is that a bra thrown on his shoulder?”
Another questioned, “I thought he had a bra draped over his shoulder?” while someone else bluntly claimed, “It’s the bra on his shoulder and the bondage ties on the bed post.”
A fourth chimed in with, “He has a bra over his shoulder.”
Others echoed the sentiment, saying, “What’s the bra doing on his shoulder?” and finally, “The bra on his shoulder!”
All humor aside, it’s pretty safe to say that the head of the royal family likely didn’t intend to appear with a piece of white lace lingerie casually resting on his shoulder in an official portrait.
