Fans were loving itQueen Camilla and Prince William showed just how strong their relationship is in an adorable moment that was caught on camera this week.
On Wednesday afternoon (December 3), the royal family welcomed the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and his wife, Elke Budenbender, on a state visit.
But it wasn’t just the friendliness towards the visitors that caught the public’s attention. Instead, it was a brief moment between Prince William and his stepmother, Queen Camilla, which was caught on camera.
Prince William and Queen Camilla’s adorable moment during state visit
During the visit, Queen Camilla greeted Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales, by blowing a kiss in their direction, as soon as she spotted them.
But that wasn’t all. She also quickly headed over to Prince William’s side to share a kiss on the cheek. And then went on to greet Princess Catherine in the exact same manner.
Usually, the royal family stick to their professional boundaries. But it’s clear that Camilla wanted to showcase their close relationship.
Both Camilla and Kate looked radiant in blue outfits for the welcoming, hours before they put on their gorgeous gowns for the state banquet.
Naturally, royal fans were thrilled and surprised at the moment between the pair. Many flocked to social media to express their thoughts.
One royal fan shared the video on X, with the caption: “Camilla sending a kiss to Catherine and William today. So sweet.”
Another responded: “I think it is so lovely that she is making the effort.”
A royal supporter shared the image of Camilla and Kate, and penned: “Prince William and Princess Catherine embrace Queen Camilla because they understand how much King Charles loves her.
“William loves and respects his father. He has showed this by accepting and loving Camilla.”
Are William and Camilla close?
Over the years, there has been a lot of speculation about whether or not Prince William and Queen Camilla are actually close.
It’s no surprise that people have wondered about their relationship, as they were once fuelled by rumours of arguments and reports that they didn’t see eye to eye.
However, it’s believed that the pair have grown closer over the last few years. And something that is rumoured to have helped is the cancer diagnoses of King Charles and Kate.
BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond previously explained to OK! how William and Camilla’s shared concern for their spouses led to an alliance.
She said: “Recent events have obviously brought Prince William and Queen Camilla much closer. They have been left, almost literally, nursing the crown while the king and princess recover.
“And while Camilla and William put on a brave face for the world (and no doubt for their spouses too) there may be times when they confide in one another about how they are dealing with it all.”
She went on to explain that it took William “time” to accept Camilla into the family. But “maturity” brought the “realisation that Camilla makes his father extremely happy”.
So, the adorable moment between them is amazing to see!
Why is the President of Germany in the UK?
It’s believed that the state visit will last for three days. But that there will be a balance of both pageantry and politics.
The president’s visit included the state banquet which took place on Wednesday night. He is also expected to speak in Parliament, and meet the Prime Minister in Downing Street.
But during his time here, he is even set to visit German footballers who play in the Premier League.
