Queen Camilla's daughter Laura Lopes made her feelings clear on her mother's Coronation portrait during a royal visit to the National Gallery today.
Lopes, a gallerist, accompanied the King and Queen as they unveiled their new state portraits.
"It's so incredible. It's very flattering," Lopes remarked about her mother's portrait.
The Queen, wearing a scarlet crepe dress by Fiona Clare with the late Queen's raspberry pip brooch, responded playfully.

She tapped her daughter lightly on the arm and joked: "Don't say it's very flattering! I just love it."
The moment came as the royal couple viewed their portraits publicly for the first time. The portraits were unveiled as part of celebrations marking the National Gallery's 200th anniversary.
It is believed this was also the first time the King and Queen themselves had seen the completed works. The royal couple appeared delighted with the results.
Queen Camilla expressed her approval, saying: "I just love it." The King praised the "wonderful composition" of his portrait.

The unveiling ceremony featured a fanfare from the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry Band.
This echoed the welcome Queen Elizabeth II received when she opened the original Sainsbury Wing in 1991.
John Booth, chairman of the National Gallery, delivered a short speech before inviting Their Majesties to unveil the portraits.
The portraits showcase the monarchs in their full ceremonial regalia. The King's portrait has been created by artist Peter Kuhfeld.

Queen Camilla's portrait is the work of Paul S Benney. Both depict the royal couple in their Robes of State, alongside their crowns.
The portraits have been displayed for public viewing at the National Gallery. The unveiling marks a significant moment in royal portraiture.
The works capture the King and Queen in their formal Coronation attire. The artists have created striking representations of the monarchs in their official capacity.
Visitors to the gallery will now be able to view these historic portraits. Tuesday's royal visit marked the official reopening of the Sainsbury Wing after a two-year transformation.

The King unveiled a plaque to commemorate the completion of the building project. During their visit, the royal couple met supporters and donors to the gallery.
These included members of the Sainsbury family and broadcaster Andrew Marr. The King, a keen patron of the arts and architecture, has had a notable history with the gallery.
He once famously described an extension as a "monstrous carbuncle." That extension, designed by architect Peter Ahrends, was ultimately scrapped.
The final, more traditional design built in 1991 was created by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown instead. The renovated wing now welcomes visitors as part of the gallery's bicentenary celebrations.
