<p>UK's new Labour government's governance agenda was laid out in British parliament on Wednesday (July 17) by the British monarch King Charles III. In an archaic tradition showcasing the symbols of Britain's colonial plundering, the monarch outlined the draft laws. The speech coincided with anti-monarchy protests as demonstrators booed at&nbsp;Charles and his wife Camilla's carriage during the procession ahead of the state opening of the UK parliament.</p>

<p>Here are the key points from Prime Minister Keir Starmer's governance agenda laid out by the British monarch.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'Liz Truss bill'</strong></h2>

<p>The Budget responsibility bill, otherwise dubbed as the 'Liz Truss Bill' after the short-serving British premier's mini-budget, will be independently assessed by the Office for Budget Responsibility.</p>

<h2><strong>National Wealth Fund Bill</strong></h2>

<p>The proposed law lays out a £7.3 billion capitalised fund to spread investment and boost the largely stagnant British economy.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Great British Energy Bill</strong></h2>

<p>The big-ticket bill sets up Prime Minister Keir Starmer's long-promised publicly owned clean energy production company.</p>

<h2><strong>Sustainable Aviation Fuel (revenue support mechanism) Bill</strong></h2>

<p>This is a proposed legislative attempt to increase investment in UK by making lower-emission aviation fuels.</p>

<h2><strong>Tobacco And Vapes Bill</strong></h2>

<p>The initial work on this bill is the legacy of former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government. The bill would gradually ban smoking and stop vapes being marketed to children.</p>

<h2><strong>Mental Health Bill</strong></h2>

<p>The broad bill aims to modernise mental health provisions, including in areas such as how people can be detained and treated under the Mental Health Act.</p>

<h2><strong>Planning And Infrastructure Bill</strong></h2>

<p>The bill aims to streamline and speed up planning and associated infrastructure needs to get more housing built. It includes a more top-down approach, with penalties for councils that fail to act.</p>

<h2><strong>Renters' Rights Bill</strong></h2>

<p>The bill introduces an end to "no fault" evictions. The bill was long promised by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government.</p>

<h2><strong>Employment Rights Bill</strong></h2>

<p>The long-promised bill&nbsp;will be introduced in parliament in the first 100 days of the government. It would ban zero-hours contracts and fire and rehire practices.</p>

<h2><strong>English Devolution Bill</strong></h2>

British monarch Charles lays out PM Starmer's governance agenda: Top points

<p>UK's King Charles III, recently in the news for his <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/king-charles-iii-diagnosed-with-cancer-to-postpone-public-facing-duties-palace-687291">cancer diagnosis</a>, is once again being talked about. This time, his first official portrait as a monarch drew <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-king-charles-official-portrait-with-satanic-hues-leaves-internet-divided-721761">mixed reactions&nbsp;</a>online and from art critics.</p>

<p>The fiery red portrait, by Jonathan Yeo, shows King Charles III with a butterfly hovering on his shoulder. While it is said to depict a "21st-century monarchy" and to communicate the King's "deep humanity," many on the Internet were not pleased, some even calling it 'bloody' or 'satanic'.</p>

<p>(Source: Reuters)</p>

<p>An X user <a href="https://twitter.com/KayCanal/status/1790975162822893831">compared</a>&nbsp;it to "all the blood spilt by the British empire."</p>

<p>A harsher netizen even <a href="https://twitter.com/Dallas252525/status/1790932312860803107">compared&nbsp;</a>the portrait to a "used tampon."</p>

<p>However, some art critics have hailed the art as revolutionary and path-breaking. The Daily Telegraph's art critic Alastair Sooke said&nbsp;the portrait will be "remembered for its fluorescence."</p>

<p>The UK royal family, however, is no stranger to divisive and downright weird portraits. Here are some of them:</p>

<h2><strong>1. A shirtless Prince Philip </strong></h2>

<h2><strong><img alt="Pic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ab2ebbb6-a109-4d29-b005-fff7ea2e9026" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/The%20battle%20for%20Kyiv%2811%29_0.jpg" /></strong></h2>

<p>(Source: Reuters)</p>

<p>In a portrait by Stuart Pearson Wright, the late Queen Elizabeth II's consort Prince Philip was shown bare-chested and with strands of cress growing out of his finger. It was widely ridiculed after its unveiling.</p>

<h2><strong>2. 'Vampirish' Kate</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="pic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2c308b42-1449-4e9b-8eae-22ecce49a0b0" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/The%20battle%20for%20Kyiv%2812%29.jpg" /><br />
(Source: Associated Press)</p>

<p>A 2013 portrait of Princess of Wales, Catherine was pegged to be 'vampirish' and 'demonic' by some. The portrait was also brought back into focus after Prince Kate's sudden disappearance from public life, owing to her cancer diagnosis.</p>

<h2><strong>3. 'Corgi' Elizabeth</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="pic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5357216a-b63d-4a2f-8216-e7463276d39f" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/The%20battle%20for%20Kyiv%2813%29.jpg" /></p>

<p>(Source: Reuters/Alamy)</p>

<p>In a shocking portrait of the late Queen, the monarch was depicted by Lucian Freud in a tiny avatar. Critics said the Queen looked like "one of her corgis who had suffered a stroke."</p>

<h2><strong>4. 'The Birth of Venus' royal portrait</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="pic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="eee594e1-3199-48d6-a9c2-ccd133a4be47" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/The%20battle%20for%20Kyiv%2814%29.jpg" /><br />
(Source: Public Domain)</p>

<p>Artist Terry Duffy once recreated Botticelli's 'The Birth Of Venus' but replaced the heads with Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. People called it 'not such a masterpiece.'</p>

<h2><strong>5. Diana as a bride</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="pic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="cc15d78b-0ca1-4c1a-a7b7-8c5e2a6e2846" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/The%20battle%20for%20Kyiv%2815%29.jpg" /><br />
(Source: Reuters)</p>

<p>Princess Di's portrait by John Ward showed the enigmatic royal in her wedding dress in 1984. Some referred to it as a premonition of the great sadness that was to overcome the famous Princess later in life.</p>

<h2><strong>6. King Henry VIII's portrait</strong></h2>

<p><strong><img alt="pic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77cd3c63-cf5a-41cb-88e4-db53e68de603" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/The%20battle%20for%20Kyiv%2816%29.jpg" /></strong></p>

<p>(Source: Public Domain)</p>

<p>Renaissance painter Cornelis Massys produced King Henry VIII's depiction when the monarch was heading towards the sunset of his life. Modern viewers have termed the portrait 'ugly' and 'shrunken.'</p>

<p>These were just some of the outlandish ones of the many portraits the UK royals have been subjected to,&nbsp; some termed 'masterpieces', some 'terrible.'</p>

<p>Well, terrible or not, all of them will surely be remembered in the annals of history. So will be the shockingly scarlet King Charles III.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The fiery red portrait, by Jonathan Yeo, shows King Charles III with a butterfly hovering on his shoulder. While it is said to depict a "21st-century monarchy" and to communicate the King's "deep humanity," many on the Internet were not pleased, some even calling it 'bloody' or 'satanic'. (Source: Reuters) An X user compared it to "all the blood spilt by the British empire." A harsher netizen even compared the portrait to a "used tampon." However, some art critics have hailed the art as revolutionary and path-breaking. The Daily Telegraph's art critic Alastair Sooke said the portrait will be "remembered for its fluorescence." The UK royal family, however, is no stranger to divisive and downright weird portraits. Here are some of them: 1. A shirtless Prince Philip (Source: Reuters) In a portrait by Stuart Pearson Wright, the late Queen Elizabeth II's consort Prince Philip was shown bare-chested and with strands of cress growing out of his finger. It was widely ridiculed after its unveiling. 2. 'Vampirish' Kate (Source: Associated Press) A 2013 portrait of Princess of Wales, Catherine was pegged to be 'vampirish' and 'demonic' by some. The portrait was also brought back into focus after Prince Kate's sudden disappearance from public life, owing to her cancer diagnosis. 3. 'Corgi' Elizabeth (Source: Reuters/Alamy) In a shocking portrait of the late Queen, the monarch was depicted by Lucian Freud in a tiny avatar. Critics said the Queen looked like "one of her corgis who had suffered a stroke." 4. 'The Birth of Venus' royal portrait (Source: Public Domain) Artist Terry Duffy once recreated Botticelli's 'The Birth Of Venus' but replaced the heads with Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. People called it 'not such a masterpiece.' 5. Diana as a bride (Source: Reuters) Princess Di's portrait by John Ward showed the enigmatic royal in her wedding dress in 1984. Some referred to it as a premonition of the great sadness that was to overcome the famous Princess later in life. 6. King Henry VIII's portrait (Source: Public Domain) Renaissance painter Cornelis Massys produced King Henry VIII's depiction when the monarch was heading towards the sunset of his life. Modern viewers have termed the portrait 'ugly' and 'shrunken.' These were just some of the outlandish ones of the many portraits the UK royals have been subjected to, some termed 'masterpieces', some 'terrible.' Well, terrible or not, all of them will surely be remembered in the annals of history. So will be the shockingly scarlet King Charles III.
