As Charles walked on, William greeted Queen Camilla, who he kissed only on one cheek — apparently because of her crimson hat — before joining his aunt, Princess Anne, and Kate Middleton, who curtsied to the King and Queen. The King and Queen were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
They were joined by Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
It was previously reported that the British monarchy is preparing for an inevitable rotation on the throne.
