| [00:03.608] | This is the official coronation portrait of George III, |
| [00:06.438] | painted around the time he moved into Buckingham House. |
| [00:09.332] | And as was the custom, he's in full royal regalia. |
| [00:13.626] | Exquisite gold silks and sumptuous ermine robes. |
| [00:20.122] | But look closely at his face, |
| [00:21.853] | because this is a king |
| [00:22.786] | he also wanted to be seen as good-natured and honest and open. |
| [00:27.681] | A very different character from the previous owner, |
| [00:30.232] | the Duke of Buckingham. |
| [00:31.480] | Where he was showy and flamboyant, |
| [00:34.295] | George III was serious and conscientious, |
| [00:37.892] | even a little bit priggish. |
| [00:40.252] | He presented Buckingham House to Queen Charlotte as a quiet family retreat, |
| [00:44.765] | away from the hurly-burly of court life. |
