Prince William shared a sweet moment with Queen Camilla – just hours after the Mother’s Day photo social media apology.
Princess Kate issued a statement earlier today, via the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official X account, apologising for “any confusion” surrounding a new photo of herself and her three children released on Sunday, March 10.
The image, which was captured by Prince William, has drawn a lot of attention within the past 24 hours after fans spotted various editing errors.
The 41-year-old Prince of Wales stepped out alongside Queen Camilla and some other members of the Royal Family at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey.
Not too long after arriving, William was captured having a moment with his stepmother – showing their sweet bond.
As Camilla approached, William was seen to say “hello” to his stepmother.
As the pair joined one another, William was captured moving forward to kiss his stepmother on both cheeks.
The pair then smiled and chatted as they stood alongside one another ready for the national anthem to be played.
The Queen and William led the service at the Abbey today, with other royals joining them in the absence of the King. The 75-year-old monarch is currently taking some time away from duties due to the continuation of his cancer treatment.
King Charles III was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer last month, just a short time after being discharged from hospital after undergoing unrelated treatment.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were also in attendance, as well as Princess Anne. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent were also in attendance.
Despite not being in attendance, a video message from the monarch was shown to those present at the Abbey.
In the video message, the King pledged to continue to serve the Commonwealth “to the best of my ability”.
King Charles stressed in his address how unity was essential for the family of nations, saying: “I cannot say often enough that it is by coming together that we create the best chances to improve our world and the lives of people everywhere.”
Commonwealth Day also marks its 75th anniversary. It was established in 1949, when eight countries, Australia, Britain, Ceylon, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and Canada, signed the Declaration of London.
King Charles added: “Together and individually we are strengthened by sharing perspectives and experiences, and by offering and borrowing the myriad ways we have each tackled the challenges of our time.
“This is true both at the level of nations and, indeed, at the local level. We recognise today that our diversity is our greatest strength.”
