In a touching scene captured in a new BBC documentary, King Charles can be seen sharing a rare family moment with his three grandchildren.<\/p>\n
The footage, which aired on Boxing Day, shows the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children arriving at rehearsals for the King’s coronation.<\/p>\n
In a display of affection, Charles embraces each grandchild in turn, starting with Princess Charlotte, followed by Prince George, and finally, five-year-old Prince Louis, who eagerly stretches out his arms for a hug.<\/p>\n
For the rehearsal, Prince Louis looks smart in a blazer and shorts, while Prince George dons a suit.<\/p>\n
Princess Charlotte stuns in a light blue patterned dress and a white cardigan.<\/p>\n
After hugging her grandfather, she even curtsies, emulating her mother Catherine.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, a photo from Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953 reveals that King Charles himself once found himself in a similar position.<\/p>\n
In the black and white image, a four-year-old Charles can be seen resting his chin on his hand during the three-hour ceremony, looking rather bored in his frilly blouse and combed hair.<\/p>\n
Another heartwarming moment from the documentary features Charles and Prince William rehearsing the allegiance moment.<\/p>\n
Prince William playfully tickles Charles’ left cheek, making him laugh, before kissing him on the right cheek.<\/p>\n
However, the King questions the move, pointing to his other cheek and asking, “Wasn’t it that side?”<\/p>\n
William’s response, “Your left cheek is better,” brings laughter not only from Charles but also from the senior clerics and officials present.<\/p>\n
The Bishop of Hereford, Richard Jackson, remarks on the extraordinary affection displayed by the royal family, emphasizing their closeness.<\/p>\n
The documentary also captures King Charles kissing his son William, his daughter-in-law Catherine, and warmly hugging each of his grandchildren.<\/p>\n
In previously released clips, Prince George can be seen wearing his red uniform and adjusting his gloves as his grandfather and Queen Camilla board the Diamond Jubilee state coach for their journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n
The monarch even lifts his arm in his robe, exclaiming, “I can fly,” before gesturing to his four pages, including Prince George, saying, “Shall we get ourselves organized round there?”<\/p>\n
Another lighthearted moment shows King Charles laughing after the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, struggles to remember his lines during a rehearsal for the coronation.<\/p>\n
Princess Catherine is also captured curtsying and kissing her father-in-law following the ceremony.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Queen Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot, appears tearful as she watches her sister head to Westminster Abbey to be crowned queen.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on their marriage, Annabel describes Charles and Camilla as polar opposites who complement each other perfectly.<\/p>\n
She emphasizes Camilla’s loyalty and stability, while Charles brings a wealth of knowledge and interests to their relationship.<\/p>\n
Lady Lansdowne, a close friend and companion of the Queen, describes Charles and Camilla as an extraordinary team.<\/p>\n
Whether they have faced challenges together or simply grown closer through shared experiences, their bond is undeniably strong.<\/p>\n
Both are avid walkers and maintain a high level of fitness.<\/p>\n
Lady Lansdowne affectionately refers to the Queen as someone with “her mad dogs.”<\/p>\n
The documentary offers a heartwarming glimpse into the personal side of the royal family, showcasing their love, warmth, and strong familial connections.<\/p>\n
It is evident that they not only share a royal and national role but also cherish their roles as grandparents and parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
