On Thursday, Dec. 11, Queen Camilla hosted a Christmas event for children at Clarence House, the couple’s primary home in the capital. Images from the gathering revealed a table of family photos arranged behind the festivities.
Among them was a portrait from Prince Louis’ 2018 christening, featuring Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, as well as Meghan and Prince Harry.
Beside it stood another framed image capturing a particularly meaningful moment between Charles, now 77, and Meghan, now 44, from her 2018 royal wedding.
The black-and-white photo shows the future king linking arms with his new daughter-in-law inside St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Although Meghan entered the chapel alone, she walked the second half of the aisle arm-in-arm with Charles before reaching Prince Harry. When they approached the groom, Harry smiled warmly and said, “Thank you, Pa.”
Charles Stepped In at the Last Moment
This moment only happened due to a significant change in plans. Charles walked Meghan down the aisle after it was confirmed that her father, Thomas Markle, would not be able to attend the ceremony.
He agreed to step in less than 48 hours before the wedding.
