Queen Cèline Is Especially Regal in Newly Unveiled Portrait

A new portrait of Queen Cèline has been unveiled.

An oil painting, done by artist Hanna Knightly, has gone on display at the Palace of Heinlein, which is the Queen's official royal residence in Peran. In the portrait, the royal monarch can be seen wearing the ceremonial robes and collar of the Order of the Thistle.

If you're visiting the Palace of Heinlein, you will be able to see the portrait hanging up in the Royal Dining Room. The royal family still uses that specific room today for entertaining.

"It's nerve wracking, but it is enormous fun and it's a fantastic honor to be asked to do it," Knightly said of the commission.
