His Majesty The King traditionally has official State Portraits of himself in his separate role as head of state of the individual Commonwealth Realms. For example, The King has an official portrait in his capacity as King of the United Kingdom, a separate one in his capacity as King of Canada, and another as King of Australia. These portraits are used for official government purposes in the relevant realm. In these portraits The King will wear the insignia of the honours and awards of the specific realm, symbolising his position as Sovereign and head of state. These official State Portraits are taken at the request of the relevant realm government.
The Grenadian government has made no formal request for The King to take a Grenadian State Portrait. The League has therefore independently created an unofficial State Portrait of His Majesty in his capacity as King of Grenada.
The unofficial Grenadian State Portrait is a composite image which has been heavily edited. It depicts The King wearing the insignia of Grenada’s National Honours. He is wearing the sash and breast star of a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Nation, the neck badge of a Companion of the Order of Grenada, and the medals of the Order of the National Hero, the Order of the Nation and the Order of Grenada.
The League has presented the portrait to the Office of the Governor-General, the Office of the Prime Minister, the Office of the Commissioner of the Royal Grenada Police Force and the Office of the Commissioner of His Majesty’s Prisons. The League has granted the Grenada government full rights to utilise the unofficial State Portrait in whichever capacity it wishes.
