Arnold Friberg traveled to London to paint a portrait of the Prince Charles. The prince was not particularly enthusiastic about posing for his portrait. he told Friberg, “This is not one of my favorite chores.” The artists and his royal subject did enjoy each other’s company, and there was a mutual respect between them. They also discovered a minor cultural gap that enabled Friberg to delight the prince with such old jokes as, “Why does a fireman wear read suspenders?” (To keep his pants up)
