The infobox photo for most monarchs (at least British/Commonwealth monarchs) shows the monarch in some kind of regalia that is specific to the monarch. This is the case, for example, of George V, George VI, and, now, Elizabeth II.
This picture of Edward VII, on the other hand, looks like that of, say, an elective political figure of the age. (Or, put another way, it is more in the style of the picture for Elizabeth II that had been used until recently.)
Agree, the Fields portrait was the infobox image until a few years ago when someone changed it for some reason. I think that the infobox picture of a person should tell as much as possible about him/her (ex. a painter at the easel, a writer at their desk, etc.)

The King’s portrait is likely to change in due course due to it being a photo from his years as Prince of Wales. Furthermore, he has been king for a short time so there aren’t yet any official portraits of him as king or in any regalia or uniform. All other monarchs are presented in some form of regalia or uniform and I think Edward VII’s portrait should follow. I think the previous image was much better and more accurately reflected his position. AKTC3 (talk) 08:44, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
