In a ground-breaking cultural moment no one asked for, a humanoid robot has painted a portrait of King Charles — sparking both artistic debate and the quiet terror of every royal portraitist still clinging to their Windsor-approved paintbrush.
The AI, named Ai-Da (because even robots need mildly annoying brand names), reportedly used “algorithms, cameras, and a robotic arm” to create the image. Translation: it stared, blinked, and waved a metal stick until something vaguely regal appeared.
Early reviews are mixed. Some call it “a fascinating exploration of the intersection between art and technology.” Others call it “the exact facial expression Charles had when Harry released Spare.”
A Buckingham Palace insider (definitely not a corgi) told Not Enough Bread:
“His Majesty was delighted. He’s been training for years to hold still while people make deeply unflattering images of him.”
Ai-Da, meanwhile, is reportedly moving on to paint Camilla next — assuming the WiFi holds up and no one spills Earl Grey into its circuits.
AI + Royal Family: A Perfect Match?
- Both are trained not to reveal emotions.
- Both get trotted out at public events for awkward small talk.
- Both raise the question: Who’s really in charge here?
Rumours are swirling that Charles is considering Ai-Da for future coronation memorabilia design, after finding the robot’s style “refreshingly less haunted” than the usual commemorative tea towels.
What’s Next?
Expect AI to fully infiltrate royal life by 2026:
- Prince William’s speeches co-written by ChatGPT.
- AI-generated royal wave tutorials.
- A hologram version of Prince Andrew, permanently on mute.
Stay tuned — we’ll cover the next AI-meets-aristocracy moment as soon as a robot accidentally gets knighted.
